* This is a list of organizations which make OA advocacy a significant part of their mission. For this purpose, advocacy goes beyond ''providing'' OA to other forms of ''promoting'' OA. <br />
<!-- ** Providing OA is a primary way of promoting OA. However, many organizations provide OA and the purpose of this list is to identify the smaller number of organizations that promote OA in other ways. --><br />
<br />
* Please annotate organizations with the location of their headquarters, the nations or regions in which they work, the sorts of advocacy in which they engage, and their launch date.<br />
** If organizations have notable OA advocacy projects, please list them under the organizations rather than as separate entries.<br />
<br />
* If an organization has since folded, please include it with an annotation rather than exclude it.<br />
