2. flagging OA-ness of references cited in articles on any topic, by way of the citation template parameters or {{tl|Open access}}
3. bringing Open-Access articles onto Wikisource
4. bringing materials from open-access publications onto Commons
5. supporting the reuse of such open-access-derived materials across Wikimedia projects

Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/resources to see a list of media which contains information which could be incorporated into articles related to this WikiProject. If you know of a good resource, then add it to this list. If you can think of a better way to sort these resources so that we can develop a plan to incorporate them into appropriate articles, then please re-section them to organize them.

Wikimedia Commons is the media repository for all language issues of Wikipedia and its sister projects. Images or media files published in scholarly articles under a [https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-types-examples/licensing-examples/#by Creative Commons Attribution License] (also known as CC BY), a [https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-types-examples/licensing-examples/#sa Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License] (CC BY-SA) or a [https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ Public Domain Dedication] (CC0) can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and reused from there, e.g. in Wikipedia articles.

Audio and video files available under these licenses from PubMed Central are automatically uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by way of a bot. You can help this process, e.g. by using such files in Wikipedia articles or by checking the categories that the bot has proposed for its uploaded files. Bot support for uploading images is foreseen.

If you see an article which is within the scope of this taskforce, please tag its talkpage with our Open Access talk template. To tag an article as an Open Access taskforce article, please add

{{WikiProject Open | access=yes | access-importance= }}

to the top of the talk page, which yields this discussion template:

{{WikiProject Open|access=yes|access-importance=|category=no}}

;Quality and importance

"Quality" refers to article quality and "importance" refers to how important an article is for developing this project. When a user tags an article with the above template and rates the article, then it will be included in this table after the bot runs (every three days).
