Proposed revisions to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI)

Posted in POSI, and UC3

Sustainable, community-driven infrastructure is essential for advancing open scholarship. That’s why UC3 not only championed the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) through our advocacy and authorship but also actively supported their adoption by key organizations like ROR, Dryad, DataCite, and Make Data Count. POSI has provided an invaluable framework for transparency, accountability, and community alignment.

As we look toward the future, we’re thrilled to see the next evolution of POSI taking shape with the proposed POSI 2.0 revisions. These updates, informed by real-world experiences of adopters, aim to refine the principles to ensure they remain practical and relevant in an ever-changing landscape. This evolution is not just about updating a framework—it’s about strengthening the foundation for a more open and resilient scholarly ecosystem.

Why does this matter to UC3? As active stewards of open infrastructure, we know that collective input is key to shaping effective, inclusive principles. POSI has empowered organizations to perform self-assessments, build trust with their communities, and advocate for long-term sustainability. We’ve seen firsthand how these principles can elevate not just individual organizations but the entire ecosystem.

With POSI 2.0, we’re calling on the scholarly community to contribute to this critical conversation. The proposed revisions are open for public comment, and this is your chance to help ensure that POSI continues to reflect the needs and aspirations of our diverse community.
