Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP)

Goals

HOAP was launched in the fall of 2011 to foster OA within Harvard, foster OA beyond Harvard, undertake research and policy analysis on OA, and provide OA to timely and accurate information about OA itself.

Policy consultations

HOAP is available to consult with universities, funding agencies, and other institutions developing their own OA policies. These consultations are confidential and pro bono, and can assist with policy language, strategy, and frequently heard questions, objections, and misunderstandings. If you're interested, please contact Peter Suber.
