Newsletter (2001-2013)

Open Access News (2002-2010)

Open Access Directory (2008-present)

  • conferences, declarations, timeline, early journals ...

Open Access Tracking Project (2009-present)

How you can help

  • As you find relevant items, add them the lists at the Open Access Directory, including the Timeline.
  • As you find relevant items, tag them for the Open Access Tracking Project. This means becoming a tagger.
  • Use the OATP to support your own research on OA, and to help others do their research on OA.
