Founded in 2013, by two undergraduates who knew not much about
anything.
The Button tracks and maps when people hit paywalls, and helps
connect users with an alternative version.

“The use of the
Open Access
Button will help
more people to find
research papers.”
“I am even more impressed
by the Open Access Button, a
genuinely grass-roots
initiative developed by two
students.”
“Tools like the Open Access
Button can help catalyse change
and create a world where science
has more impact, is more efficient
and importantly available to
everyone.”

In London, during Open Access Week, we packed a room with
over 40 people for the Button’s launch and livestreamed it to
150 more. For the launch and other events, we were privileged
to have Open Access Button talks all over the globe, a selection
of which can be found on our map.
This was accompanied by fantastic press coverage including:
Huffington Post, VentureBeat, Creative Commons, EFF, The
Varsity and Scientific American Blogs.
In addition, during Open Access Week, we took part in a reddit
AMA alongside EFF, Creative Commons, the Right to Research
Coalition and Fundacion Karisma.

“I was researching on Open Collaboration - a concept
that will help me in structuring my venture - a co-
creation community for high school graduates. This
paper suggests a documentation of principles that
would be useful to create structure. Clearly, I can't
access it coz it has a pay per article paywall.”

1. We’d like to get the Button installed on
your campus computers (or, at least
promoted)
2. We’d like to use our stories and data
to drive support for Open Access on your
campus. Help us do it well.

Using paywalls to make change
• Emailing Authors and encouraging them to deposit
(and making it easy)
• Local organising
• Collaborations with other services/sites
48. OpenAccessButton.org @OA_Button
How to connect people with
work post-paywall
• Currently, jarring and unwelcoming
• We must think about designing ways to help
readers find work behind paywalls
• Can we connect them to other resources?
