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.

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

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
