Open Access Button
[4] A beta version of the Open Access Button was officially launched on 18 November 2013 at the Berlin 11 Satellite Conference for Students & Early Stage Researchers.[5] It records instances of hitting a paywall, and also provides options to try to locate an open access version of the article.[7] The second version of the button was launched on 21 October 2014 as part of Open Access Week.[8] In February 2015 the Open Access Button and its co-founders, David Carroll and Joseph McArthur ("the button boys"), were awarded a SPARC Innovator Award by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC).[9] The third version of the button was launched on 28 October 2016, again, as part of open access week.
