Hi Sylvain,
Jake started a concept page at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/OABOT , and we got a suggestion for support from someone on Twitter today: https://twitter.com/james_t_webber/status/642382914341048320
I know Daniel Mietchen has been working on similar ideas around the OA button for a while, but has hit some blockers in the past. Let us know if we can do anything to start conversations. It would be great to facilitate developments in any way we can.
Cheers,
Alex

Thanks for all the pointers, I definitely think that coupling a bot (linked with human validation maybe) with open archives sources (OA button
- Oaister, Doaj and even google scholar if possible) would be a great idea.
I will try to build a proof of concept of what I am thinking of now that I know that is doesn't exist yet and I will let you know.
Regards, Sylvain

*"both our existing partnerships" and the best OA databases.
Sorry for not finishing the sentence.

Hey Sylvain,
We met someone at ALA that recommended that we should talk to Google Scholar about a mechanism like that: they surface institutional collection copies from citation information, giving readers options for versions to access. That particular contact hasn't followed up with us: I just sent a reping email. If anyone has contacts in the Google Scholar org, I would love to find a way to work with them. Eventually we would like to create a centralized project-wide search mechanism that allows us to both search our existing partnership
We are also in the process of supporting WikiProject X (James Hare) in creating a framework for us to document citations, for surfacing suggested sources to editors based on topical area project ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111066 ). I think that tool has a lot of potential for surfacing OA collections to editors as well.
If you want to explore this, its well within our interest: not necessarily top priority at the moment, but something we can work into our asks for partners and support of volunteers.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson Project Manager The Wikipedia Library

Hi all, There has been quite discussion on a French list I am subscribing to regarding the latest partnership with elsevier (and I suspect we can expect a lot of attraction with this new partnership ...)
One of the interesting question raised was: is there any plan to try to automatically find, when. There is a pay walled article referenced somewhere, if an OA version exists, and if yes update the link.
I think it should be covered by TWL, if it doesn't exist yet. Do you know anything about any initiative of that kind ?
Thanks, Sylvain
