Wikipedia:Open Access (archived proposal)
 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia articles should preferentially cite open access literature over closed- or toll-access resources of equivalent scholarly quality. |
Wikipedia articles should preferentially cite open access literature over closed- or toll-access resources of equivalent scholarly quality.
Wikipedia articles can benefit from citing relevant open access scholarly materials, such as journal articles and doctoral dissertations. Conversely, open access resources can benefit from being cited in relevant Wikipedia articles.
