This wiki is a temporary working-copy of the Open Access Directory which can continue to be edited whilst the original Open Access Directory hosted at Simmons University is not editable. This wiki uses the same MediaWiki markup language, so any edits made here can be remerged with the Simmons University OAD when it becomes unlocked. This wiki also uses the same CC BY 3.0 licensing to maintain compatibility.
The Open Access Directory (OAD) is a compendium of simple factual lists about open access (OA) to science and scholarship, maintained by the OA community at large. By bringing many OA-related lists together in one place, OAD makes it easier for everyone to discover them, use them for reference, and update them. The easier they are to maintain and discover, the more effectively they can spread useful, accurate information about OA. To see what we have, browse the table of contents below, browse the table of categories, or use the search box in near the upper right corner. To help the cause, just register and start editing. If you have any questions, see our FAQs or drop us a line.
OAD is a wiki and we count on our users to keep these lists accurate, comprehensive, and up to date. Our goal is for the OA community itself to maintain the lists with little intervention from the editors or editorial board. We welcome your contributions to the lists, ideas for new lists, and comments to help us improve. Please [email protected] us or use the discussion tabs on individual pages. The OAD is hosted by the School of Library and Information Science at Simmons University and supervised by an independent editorial board.
