Hi everyone.
After the great meeting that some of us had in Berlin,
I'd like to ask again what can we do to revive the "signalling open access"
project¹.
For those who don't know it, the idea was to put an icon beside links in
references, on Wikipedia, expressing
* if it's behind a paywall
* if it's free-to-read
* if it's free to reuse
There are already great projects who find OA-versions of articles online,
like Unpaywall² or Open Access Button³. All their code is open source and
also the indexing of OA articles, so I'm sure there is room for
collaboration.
I've also noticed that, right now, on Wikipedia, you can have a
"subscription required" icon beside some references. Is someone involved in
the that upgrade?
