  • Search OATP by tag and/or keyword. Every item ever tagged for OATP is stored just for this purpose.
    • You can find the search engine for the OATP hub at the bottom of the left sidebar.
    • You needn't have a TagTeam account to do so.
    • The search engine covers all OATP tag records back to the launch of the project in 2009. We're doing what we can to tag items retroactively and the index now includes many items from before 2009.
    • Also see the section of the TagTeam manual on searching. Preview: You can search tags, keywords, or both. You can run phrase searches, wildcard searches, or boolean searches. You can bookmark any search, create a new feed from the results of any search, or add the results of any search to a remix feed combining many different OATP feeds.
  • Find the tags already in use that best fit your topic. As you find works relevant to your research, make sure they're already tagged with those tags.
  • If some aspect of your topic has no particular tag yet, make up a good one and tell us. Or consult with us and we can come up with a good one in light of the set of existing OATP tags.
    • Then make that tag retroactively comprehensive, and tell us.
  • If you want to share your work in progress as you go, then publicize the URLs of the feeds from the tags relevant to your topic.
    • If you publicize your feeds, and invite people to follow them, then when you discover and tag new items, you'll also be alerting a whole research community, including members of your own research team.
