With deep gratitude to our entire team and community — thank you for building the future of #ScholarlyPublishing with us.

RAiD (Research Activity Identifier) is a global system to uniquely identify research projects and serves as a registry #PIDs

In May 2025, @Lyrasis, GO #FAIR Foundation US and @ardc_au hosted a first call for participation in the US RAiD pilot. 22 organizations represented different stakeholder perspectives and explored the benefits of using RAiD.

Submission of initial ideas for participation in the RAiD pilot is still possible

ZB MED-Blog · Deutschlands Plan für ein offenes und unabhängiges PubMed-SicherheitsnetzPubMed ist eine wichtige Literaturdatenbank. Könnte PubMed häufiger und für längere Zeit ausfallen? ZB MED stellt sich dieser Herausforderung.

Invest in Open Infrastructure (#IOI, @investinopen) makes an important point in its new report:
investinopen.org/state-of-open

"Imagine just a few of the major open infrastructures serving scholarship today: #arXiv, #PubMed, #DSpace, #OpenJournalSystems, or perhaps #CreativeCommons…Consider how many of these have been created on a cycle of grants and sustained on a combination of donations, membership fees, service hosting, and/or specialized development…Most scholars, teachers, and researchers…accept them as a given and depend on them…But these infrastructures are not, on the whole, sustainable businesses with robust fiscal models and diversified revenues. Many do not turn profits; most operate at steady losses that are absorbed by philanthropic and government funders and a variety of research institutions including labs, universities, and colleges. They operate on systems rife with technical debt, and they depend upon volunteer labour to cover much of their human costs from governance to editorial review to code development."

Invest in Open Infrastructure · ForewordThe open tools and systems we rely upon need our immediate attention and action. We continue to reaffirm our commitment to a vision where every place of higher learning has access to the tools and infrastructure neccesary to access and participate in research.
