Re: [OpenAccess] Signalling Open Access

Hi Aubrey, About the signalling: we have worked to integrate OA locks into the citation templates, so that people can signal which source or which identifier is free to read or behind a paywall. For instance, in a {{cite journal}} template, you can use |doi=10.4204/EPTCS.244.2|doi-access=free to signal that this DOI is open access. It is not clear if the broader Wikipedia community really wants this signalling however, so the project is stalled by the outcome of the following RFCs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_13… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_13… About finding OA versions of papers, there is a proposal for a bot that would add OA links to citations (using the same metadata sources as unpaywall and the OA button): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/OAbot Here is an example of the sort of edits it performs: https://tools.wmflabs.org/oabot/edits/2017-02-26T23:00:26.058245_765290719_… If anybody wants to get involved in the coding of this bot, that would be much appreciated. I can give access to the Git repo and the Tools lab account. Pintoch On 06/04/2017 10:14, Andrea Zanni wrote:
