  • This is the home page of the Open Access Tracking Project (OATP).
  • OATP uses social tagging to capture new OA developments comprehensively and in real time. The project runs on TagTeam, open-source software specifically written for OATP and now available for social-tagging projects on any topic. Through TagTeam, OATP publishes a primary project feed of new OA developments and a series of secondary feeds on a range of OA subtopics.
  • The project launched on April 16, 2009, and there's a full-length description of it in the SPARC Open Access Newsletter for May 2, 2009. It started on Connotea and moved to TagTeam on September 17, 2012.
  • Some of the OATP pages here in the Open Access Directory are temporarily closed to public edits while the project works out methods for communal governance.
