January 30, 2016. HOAP is hiring a research assistant. There's no particular deadline for applications, but we hope to fill the position quickly. Please spread the word!

Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP)

Goals

HOAP launched in 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 confidential pro bono consultations can assist with policy language, strategy, and frequently heard questions, objections, and misunderstandings. If you're interested, please contact Peter Suber.
