The Trump administrations on open access to research - Harvard Open Access Project

"During Donald Trump's first term (January 20, 2017 – January 20, 2021), I tracked his administration's actions and positions on open access to research. I started this page at the start of his second term (January 20, 2025) to support my plan to do the same. — Peter Suber.

• I tracked his first term on Twitter, which I no longer use.
• I'll track his second term on Mastodon. To read or follow my Mastodon posts without a Mastodon account, use the HTML version (it's OA!), the RSS feed, or the Bluesky bridge account.
