with the goals of (1) improving Wikimedia content with the help of Open Access materials; (2) improving coverage of Open Access and related topics in partnership with WikiProject Open. |
The open access task force aims to help Wikipedians cooperate, organize, and share ideas on improving open access-related articles on Wikipedia, and provide OA materials with a new life, through Wikimedia projects. Ask questions on our talk page.
Everyone is welcome to help: people of all backgrounds and skill levels can contribute meaningfully. Join our list of participants, or just review the Task section below. You can also contact others on this list.
We hope you enjoy reading and improving Wikipedia's OA articles, or repurposing OA materials on Wikimedia projects,

- flagging OA-ness of references cited in articles on any topic, by way of the citation template parameters or {{Open access}}
- bringing Open-Access articles onto Wikisource
- bringing materials from open-access publications onto Commons
- supporting the reuse of such open-access-derived materials across Wikimedia projects

Tasks
[edit]Do you support open access? If you have even a small amount of time and no experience or background in open access, there are still ways that you can help! Please consider trying to do one of the below tasks. If you need help getting started contact one of the people listed in the members section of this page.
Wikimedia Commons is the media repository for all language issues of Wikipedia and its sister projects. Images or media files published in scholarly articles under a Creative Commons Attribution License (also known as CC BY), a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License (CC BY-SA) or a Public Domain Dedication (CC0) can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and reused from there, e.g. in Wikipedia articles.
Audio and video files available under these licenses from PubMed Central are automatically uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by way of a bot. You can help this process, e.g. by using such files in Wikipedia articles or by checking the categories that the bot has proposed for its uploaded files. Bot support for uploading images is foreseen.If you see an article which is within the scope of this wikiproject, please tag its talkpage with our Wikiproject Open Access talk template. To tag an article as a Wikiproject Open Access article, please add
{{WikiProject Open Access | class= | importance= }}
to the top of the talk page, which yields this discussion template:
![]() | Open Access C‑class Top‑importance | ||||||||||||||||
|
- Quality and importance
"Quality" refers to article quality and "importance" refers to how important an article is for developing this project. When a user tags an article with the above template and rates the article, then it will be included in this table after the bot runs (every three days).
Click on any of the numbers in this table to go to a page where you can see the articles that have been rated as the table describes.Article alerts
