The Open Access Button is a browser bookmarklet which registers when people hit a paywall to an academic article and cannot access it. [1] It is supported by Medsin UK and the Right to Research Coalition. [1] A prototype was built at a BMJ Hack Weekend. [2] [3] All code is openly available online at GitHub.
Open access (OA) is the right and freedom to read research, generally online, and ideally with the ability to reuse it without restraint.

Unpaywall, begun as an interface for oaDOI.org, [12] [13] is a browser extension [14] which finds legal free versions of (paywalled) scholarly articles. [15] In July 2018, Unpaywall was reported to provide free access to 20 million articles, [1] which accounts for about 47% of the articles that people search for with Unpaywall. [16]
An open repository or open-access repository is a digital platform that holds research output and provides free, immediate and permanent access to research results for anyone to use, download and distribute. To facilitate open access such repositories must be interoperable according to the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata ...
I recently heard about two UK students, David Carroll and Joseph McArthur, who built an Open Access Button. OA Button is a browser extension that alerts the world when a reader or researcher hits a paywall. It's both a desperate plea for access, and a clarion call that the free flow of information will not be stopped.
