On January 10, 2012, WikiProject Open Access has been started on the English Wikipedia.
Since then, progress in the development of matters pertaining to Open Access and related issues have been reported in the monthly Open Access Reports as part of the GLAM Newsletter, and updates to this page have been discontinued.


This page is meant to document the progress of the project by listing a selection of articles, media or policies within the scope of the project that have been created, assessed or significantly improved since the start of the project. For a more comprehensive listing, see here

Categories

  

Categorization of pages and files is not very harmonized across or even within individual Wikimedia projects. The aim here is thus to build a consistent set of categories that allows for good discoverability and is easily maintainable and expandable. The initial focus is on Wikimedia Commons.

The overall structure is as follows, with slight variations for different publishers and journals. It is intended to be converted to "Media of" later.

Events

  

Events attended in the framework of this project are documented at Wikimedian in Residence on Open Science/Events.

Partnerships

  

The journals RNA Biology and ZooKeys have been partnering with Wikimedia projects for a while, but other journals and publishers have recently signaled their interest as well. A cooperation with PLoS Computational Biology has been started to publish review articles suitable for reuse on the English Wikipedia - the first article in this track has already been accepted, and publication is due once some technical hurdles have been overcome.
