How the Button Works



Push Button.

Download the Open Access Button from openaccessbutton.org. The next time you're asked to pay to access academic research. Push the Open Access Button

on your phone or on the web.



Get Research.

The Open Access Button will search the web for version of the paper that you can access immediately. If that

doesn't work, the Button will email the author and look for more information about the paper.



Make Progress.

If you get your research, you can make progress with your work. If you don't get your research, your story will be used to help change the publishing system so it doesn't happen

again.

What makes us different

Usefulness first, providing a key function for users !

International project representing all continents !

Involves users and team who are not always students, and not (already) Open Access advocates



Challenges

$$$ !

Meetings and team engagement online and across multiple timezones

!

A technical project will always have technical holdups



Tips

Make lots of friends within your community !

If you have a great idea, you can always find people to do the things that you can’t

!

Embrace diversity
