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 [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Open_Access|talk page]].

Everyone is welcome to help: people of all backgrounds and skill levels can contribute meaningfully. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/Members|Join our list of participants]], or just review the ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access#Tasks|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,

==Goals==
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/Userbox|right}}
The WikiProject Open Access is concerned with the following:
#starting and improving articles related to [[open access]], as per [[Wikipedia:GLAM/Open Knowledge Foundation Germany/Open Access Catalogue|this provisional list]]
# flagging OA-ness of references cited in articles on any topic, by way of the [[Help:Citation_Style_1#Registration_or_subscription_required|citation template parameters]] or {{tl|Open access}}
# bringing Open-Access articles onto [[s:|Wikisource]]
# bringing materials from open-access publications [[:commons:Category:Open access (publishing)|onto Commons]]
# supporting the reuse of such open-access-derived materials across Wikimedia projects

==Tasks==

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.

Check out [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/resources]] to see a list of media which contains information which could be incorporated into articles related to this WikiProject. If you know of a good resource, then add it to this list. If you can think of a better way to sort these resources so that we can develop a plan to incorporate them into appropriate articles, then please re-section them to organize them.

{{hidden| headerstyle=background:#EFEFEF;text-align: left;width: 600px;
|header = <big>Contribute to articles</big>
|content =Go to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/resources|resource section]] and read an article. Take information from that article and then incorporate it into a Wikipedia article in this project. Your sources are right there! This is so easy now! If you have trouble accessing any of these articles then please contact [[user:Bluerasberry]] for advice. Most universities will give free access to any of these articles even to non-students.

[[:commons:Main 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 [https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-types-examples/licensing-examples/#by Creative Commons Attribution License] (also known as CC BY), a [https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-types-examples/licensing-examples/#sa Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License] (CC BY-SA) or a [https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ Public Domain Dedication] (CC0) can be [[:commons:Special:UploadWizard|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 [[:commons:User:Open Access Media Importer Bot|bot]]. You can help this process, e.g. by using [[:Category:Uploaded with Open Access Media Importer|such files]] in Wikipedia articles or by [[:commons:Category:Uploaded with Open Access Media Importer and needing category review|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 taskforce, please tag its talkpage with our Open Access talk template. To tag an article as an Open Access taskforce article, please add
 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:WikiProject Open|WikiProject Open]]<nowiki> | access=yes | access-importance= }}</nowiki>
to the top of the talk page, which yields this discussion template:
{{WikiProject Open|access=yes|access-importance=|category=no}}

;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).
