The Open Research Community: Reasons, Aims, Audiences | Open Research Community

"The Open Research Community seeks, therefore, to fill this gap, by launching this platform. At the Open Research Community platform, these agents will be able to have shared conversations on Open Access-related issues, while showcasing best practices in this sector, developing educational resources and exploring how different publishing models operate and perform across contexts.

At the Open Research Community, the content it will be publishing will comprise blog-format articles, online discussions and sustained commentary, in addition to related educational offerings. This is expected to enable the Open Research Community to draw on Open Access expert communities from various for-profit organizations and non-profit institutions, academic libraries and universities from around the world as contributors and discussants. Consequently, the knowledge sharing that the Open Research Community aims to facilitate is expected to be in dialogue with research results, industry developments and wider discussions concerning Open Access, Open Science and Open Research. This will allow this community to become a space for scholarly, inclusive and independent discourse on these topics...."
