Harvard Open Access Project

The Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) is an initiative that promotes free and legal access to academic research and scholarly articles. Its goal is to make scholarly knowledge more openly available to researchers, students, and the public, removing barriers like paywalls. HOAP provides guidance, tools, and resources to help institutions and individuals share research widely, support open access policies, and foster transparency in scholarly communication. By doing so, it aims to enhance the dissemination of knowledge, accelerate scientific progress, and ensure that publicly funded research benefits everyone.
