Proposed lists

Gail Clement: This list addresses Open Access issues for student works of scholarship including theses and dissertations. Many are trapped behind a commercial paywall needlessly and should be set free via OA

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* ''These are proposals, not lists. Please add new proposals of your own, but don't add list-items as if these proposals were already lists.''

* To move one of these proposals to '''Lists under development''' (where it can start to grow) or to the '''Table of contents''' (where it is open for editing by all contributors), [mailto:OAD.contact@gmail.com contact an editor].

* Also [mailto:OAD.contact@gmail.com contact an editor] to be among the volunteers to help develop a new list in the '''Lists under development''' section. Our experience has taught us that a small group of individuals can usually find the best way to structure a list before it is edited by the broader community.

* If you already maintain a list elsewhere, and would like to move it to OAD, please [mailto:OAD.contact@gmail.com contact an editor].

* See the OAD [[Editorial Policy|editorial policy]] for details on the kinds of lists OAD is willing to host.
