Overview
The Open Access Research project aims to remove barriers that keep scholarly work behind paywalls. This donation page outlines how support enables sustainable hosting, open data tools, and accessible content that can be read by students, educators, researchers, and curious readers around the world. By contributing, you help create a clearer path to knowledge and accelerate collaboration across disciplines. This project thrives on clarity, responsibility, and shared purpose in the service of open discovery.
Through a lean, community-led model, the Open Access Research project collaborates with volunteers and partners to provide freely accessible summaries, datasets, and resource curation. The goal is to complement traditional publishing by ensuring important findings remain visible, searchable, and usable by anyone who seeks them.
Why Your Support Matters
We built the Open Access Research project to serve a global audience that benefits from unfettered access to knowledge. Your support helps bridge gaps for readers who cannot afford subscription fees and supports ongoing improvements to accessibility and reach. With stable funding, this initiative can invest in hosting, multilingual expansion, and community-driven content that broadens the audience for credible research.
Key outcomes include more open hosting capacity, better discoverability of open resources, and a sustainable model for ongoing operations. Contributions enable us to maintain high standards, expand outreach to educators and librarians, and ensure open materials are usable across languages and contexts. The project is about sustainable access, steady progress, and a long-term, collaborative future for shared knowledge.
