Key points
- There is evidence that cooperatives provide greater resilience in times of crisis than conventional enterprises.
- Cooperatives subscribe to seven values associated with economic and governance participation, as well as equality and concern for community.
- We present two case studies, one well established (Crossref) and one new (the UK National Research Identifier Coordinating Committee), that have adopted some cooperative principles.
- There is a strong push towards greater cooperation in the scholarly communications sector.
- There is enough evidence from our own sector and the wider socio‐economic landscape to justify prioritizing cooperation and cooperative values in our common endeavours in coming years.
