The State of Open Infrastructure is not simply a record of where the sector stands today. It draws on IOI’s position across the ecosystem to ask questions that individual institutions and funders rarely have the vantage point to ask: what should be sustained, where investment is most needed, how dependencies can be understood, and how the research community can work together to build infrastructure resilient enough for the future it will support.
That work depends on collective support, and the process of developing this report reflects the solidarity across stakeholders in scholarly communication that makes it possible.
We are glad to have allies in the ecosystem who believe in the importance of our work led by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Arcadia Fund.
Special thanks go to Crossref, the report’s Supporting Sponsor, and to our Community Supporters: the Research Data Alliance (RDA), the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and Cassyni. Their financial and in-kind support has been invaluable in making this report a reality.
We are also grateful to our Sustaining Circle members, whose support is critical to IOI’s capacity to conduct targeted research, provide strategic tools for decision-makers, pilot funding mechanisms, and foster a shared agenda for investment in and adoption of open infrastructure.
