We are delighted to announce that the French National Fund for Open Science has renewed its commitment to sustaining the activities of four #SCOSS-selected infrastructures, including #OpenCitations. Thank you #FNSO for contributing to supporting our development! Learn more on #OpenCitationsBlog:

@abbycabs Check #SCOSS https://scoss.org/

@fionabradley Thanks! I've been following #SCOSS from the beginning. Does it now recommend specific governance structures? I can't see any.

As I see it, the awardees are either university-owned (#arXiv #Redalyc #OpenCitations) or FLOSS projects with limited lock-in potential (#DOAJ #SHERPA #PKP #DSpace). #OAPEN and #DOAB are the exception, relatively new orgs under Belgian law.

The SCOSS method is interesting because money flows directly from universities to the targets.

@albertcardona @hye

@koalha definitely a big issue, and why organisations that coordinate software curation and maintenance (like #ROpenSci), or collaborative efforts between entities (governments, universities...) like #SCOSS, are so important.
I'm hoping to design some sort of "Open Source Software selection guidelines" for our university's Library, so we can be more confident about the tools we train in and recommend to the community.

Just learned about the great work #SCOSS is doing to support #OpenResearch infrastructure like Sherpa Romeo, Redalyc/AmeliCA, DOAJ, arXiv, DSpace, DOAB/OAPEN, Public Knowledge Project and Open Citations...
