Open Access Button is no longer accepting new sign-ups

We’ve closed sign-ups as we prepare to shut down the Open Access Button on November 18th, 2025.

Need to access your account?

If you already have one, email help@openaccessbutton.org from the email address on your account before November 18th. We’ll send you instructions to access it.

If you'd like to delete your data, we have you covered: all user accounts and usage data will be permanently deleted from our servers in early 2026.
