Summary:
"When we talk about open science, we often think about open-access journals or FAIR data. But there’s another layer that quietly powers it all — the infrastructure that captures, connects, and analyses research metadata.Earlier this year, members of OSMI Working Group 4 set out to understand what this landscape really looks like in practice. To this effect, an internal survey was undertaken with the members of the working group. Overall, twenty-two respondents responded to our call. Their answers paint a surprisingly candid picture of where we stand."
