Our community

We recognise that research outputs are the product of many actors whose collective expertise should be empowered to create a complete and accurate scholarly record.

The members in our community represent organisations such as:

  • research institutes and labs
  • national, public, and institutional libraries
  • publishers and publishing technology providers
  • PID and bibliographic service providers
  • government agencies and policy makers
  • research councils and funders
  • repositories and archives
  • open science advocacy groups.
