Presentations: SCOSS, PKP, DOAB/OAPEN, OpenCitations

Each of the selected infrastructures will offer their own perspectives
on community-ownership and the importance of collective funding to
them, how their services are relevant for UK higher education
institutions and how Jisc members can concretely engage with and
support these infrastructures.

This session will be presented by experts from the open research community.

Who should attend

Anyone in the higher education community interested in ensuring the
future of key open infrastructure services.

Background

As we set up national networks, mandates, and other initiatives to
support and promote open research, we must not forget another critical
element: open infrastructure.

In the ‘open’ context, “infrastructure” (the "structures and
facilities") refers to the scholarly communication resources and
services, including software, that we depend upon to enable the
scientific and scholarly community to collect, store, organise,
access, share, and assess research. Open infrastructure provides the
foundation for keeping costs down and quality high, ensuring
community-driven development. But who funds open infrastructure? And
how do we create a sustainable future for these services?
