Dear all,

the OA signalling project's main page at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Signalling_OA-ness
is a bit dated now - its most recent summary is in the report at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Signalling_OA-ness/Report
.

Further progress depends a lot on third-party activities (especially
Wikidata, but also PubMed Central), and we try to move forward as much
as circumstances allow.

In the meantime, we are working on improving citation and analytics
infrastructure more generally, e.g. as per
https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Usage_of_Digital_Object_Identifiers_across_Wikimedia_projects
and
https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Pleasures_and_Pains_of_Analyzing_All_the_Wikis_in_Realtime
.

Apart from WMF's upcoming OA policy (as per
https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Wikimedians_share;_Researchers_should_too
), the Public Access policies of several U.S. Federal Agencies are
also likely to affect the OA Signalling project - both NASA and the
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) have opted to work
with NIH's PubMed Central:
http://www.sparc.arl.org/blog/second-us-federal-agency-releases-public-access-policy-plan
http://sparc.arl.org/blog/nasa-public-access-plan-available-uses-nihs-pmc-platform

This also means that they will be using JATS, the XML format in use at
PMC, and the basis for our full-text imports into Wikisource, as per
https://github.com/wpoa/JATS-to-Mediawiki .
Along with the Open Access Media Importer (which now stands at about
19k files), this tool has discovered many issues with JATS that are
now being worked on in the framework of the JATS for Reuse working
group at
http://jats4r.github.io/ , which will present its activities at the
upcoming JATS Con (which prevents me from attending the Norway event),
as per
http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/jats-con/2015/schedule2015a.html#1-215 . We
will also have a talk on data citation there:
http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/jats-con/2015/schedule2015a.html#2-900 .

Finally, it's probably worth mentioning WikiProject Wikidata for research at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikidata_for_research ,
which has produced a publicly drafted and openly licensed proposal for
the EU's Horizon 2020 program at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_for_research/EINFRA-9-2015
and resulted in a number of meetups, e.g.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_for_research/Meetups/2015-02-23-Berlin
and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_for_research/Meetups/2015-02-25-2015-02-28-Bern
last week. Access to the scholarly literature is a key component
there, and we plan to enhance it using Wikidata.

Cheers,
d.
