The Working Group and associated community are working to establish global access to academic literature and publications. We have a number of ongoing projects, and need your help!

Do you have 15 minutes?

• Tell us an open access success story! We’re collecting case studies of when open access has been useful, and are specifically looking for stories involving the reuse of open access work. When we’ve collected a few, we will publish them under the resource section

• Use the Open Access Button to map current pay walls so we can better understand their impact

Do you have a few hours?

• Organise a talk or event about Open Access, and invite a speaker in to talk. We’re developing a list of speakers, and will publish this under the ‘resources’ section soon.

• Give a talk on Open Access in your institution or local community.
