Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions (COAPI)

The Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions (COAPI) brings together representatives from North American universities with established faculty open access policies and those in the process of developing such policies. It was formed to share information and experiences and to illuminate opportunities for moving faculty-led open access forward at member institutions and advocating for open access nationally and internationally. COAPI will offer a collection of best and evolving practices to act as a roadmap for inspiring, promoting and implementing open access polices at institutions without existing or effective open access policies.

Happy Anniversary COAPI! On July 19th, 2011 an initial group of 21 universities with open access policies met by phone conference to discuss the establishment of the Coalition. Since that time the Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions has grown to 46 universities and research centers in North America, at the time of this writing.

A brief summary of activities and accomplishments outlines the success and growth during its first year. Highlights include COAPI’s January 2012 response to the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Request for Information, and the COAPI’s June 13, 2012 letter submitted in support of FRPAA to congressmen.
