Since 2024, DataCite's Global Access Fund has supported 20 projects expanding equitable access to DataCite infrastructure. See how training, outreach, and infrastructure development in regions where PID adoption is still emerging are helping to build a more open, global community: https://doi.org/10.5438/29r5-rk13

We’re excited to be rolling out a new membership model focused on global equity and collective funding of shared open infrastructure. In case you missed the announcement: Read our blog to learn what's changing and why it matters: https://doi.org/10.5438/gc07-ah64

Hello, Brazil 🇧🇷!

Nuvon Brasil is now open for conversations, meetings, and partnerships.

We’re bringing to Brazil the same approach that drove our growth in Europe: high-performance cloud storage, 100% hosted locally and under local jurisdiction.

The goal is simple — give Brazilian companies and public institutions a serious, privacy-first alternative to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and LucidLink.

If you're based in Brazil and looking to move away from foreign hyperscalers while keeping your data on Brazilian soil, I’d love to connect.

Feel free to reach out directly.

DataCite was founded as a collective effort by research organizations to build and sustain open infrastructure. We’ve always been and always will be a community for all research organizations and all types of research outputs. We’re evolving our membership model to realign with our guiding values and vision and make it possible for more organizations to contribute to shared open infrastructure: https://doi.org/10.5438/gc07-ah64

New blog post on @lseimpactblog about our project. Why global databases are not enough, and why national scholarly infrastructures matter more than we think.

💡 https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2026/04/01/by-linking-national-scholarly-infrastructures-we-can-better-understand-the-impact-of-global-research/

The solution is not to replace global systems, but to connect national ones into a network of interoperable, open infrastructures.

It’s time to sprint!

🚀 The PKP Sprint will take place on May 18 and 19, 2026, alongside the OPERAS and SCIROS conference in Warsaw, Poland!

Sprints are key events bringing together PKP with global communities to advance #OpenJournalSystems, #OpenMonographPress and #OpenPreprintSystems.

We look forward to connecting in person once again. Spots are limited!

We wrapped up the MoCHI project — a year-long study of how community health frameworks and metrics shape decisions about open research infrastructure.
Key finding: frameworks like CHAOSS, FOREST, and POSI are useful — but mainly for internal self-assessment, not external evaluation.

What stakeholders actually use? 11 recurring themes, shaped by trust and tension.

📣 PKP announces Max Planck Society support for 2026 - 2028 @maxplanckgesellschaft

"... the MPDL has been a prominent advocate for global transition to #OpenAccess, consistently promoting sustainable approaches to #ScholarlyPublishing that prioritize public value and strengthen researchers’ ability to share and advance knowledge."

Thank you Max Planck for leading by example, and for investing in #OpenInfrastructure!

Building and maintaining open infrastructure is an active and ongoing process, and we align this work with the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) to be more intentional and transparent about how we support sustainability, community governance, and responsible stewardship. We’re proud to share an updated POSI self-assessment that reaffirms our commitment to openness: https://doi.org/10.5438/fdqk-vc49

We Don’t Just Fork Code. We Shift Ecosystems! 🫡

I’m moving all my projects from GitHub to Codeberg — and the community is moving with me.

My main project (3000+ followers, running Autodesk Fusion on Linux) is making the jump too.

10+ new Codeberg signups just this week.
The shift is happening. 🚀

Really excited to share that we’ve published Thoth Open Metadata’s self-assessment against the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). 🎉

For us, this is more than a compliance exercise. It’s an open reflection on how we believe open metadata for books should be governed, sustained, and shared - with community oversight, open-source code, and CC0 data and open APIs at its core. As open access policies evolve, infrastructure transparency matters for publishers, librarians, and policymakers alike. 📚 #MetadataMatters

This work connects directly to the next phase of Thoth’s development - and we’ll be continuing the conversation at the Copim community's #CopimConference tomorrow and on Friday, where we’ll be discussing the future of #communityled #OAbooks and the infrastructure they depend on together with like-minded #openinfras, #libraries, #publishers, and #researchers.

There's no #OpenAccess without #OpenInfrastructure!
