SCOSS 6th pledging awardees announced
Now in its sixth year, the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS) is excited to announce the four new Open Science infrastructure partners that will join the SCOSS Family. After careful evaluation, SCOSS has selected the African Journals Online (AJOL), Episciences, Make Data Count, and SciPost for this sixth funding cycle. These organisations are seeking help in both creating and maintaining sustainable futures.
Susan Haigh, Chair of the SCOSS Board, commented on this selection:
‘SCOSS is pleased to announce the launch of its sixth pledging cycle, which includes four infrastructure services selected from the many worthy applications we received.
‘The chosen projects proposed clear funding targets to address concrete needs and have been subject to rigorous assessment. They are established services with high usage that are making important contributions to open science, but they need community support to innovate, to broaden their global reach, and to increase their long-term financial viability. We look forward to welcoming African Journals Online (AJOL), Episciences, Make Data Count, and SciPost to the SCOSS Family.
‘On behalf of the SCOSS Board, I extend my congratulations to the supported infrastructure for this round. Although budget constraints may make pledging more difficult, please consider supporting open science infrastructure by pledging a small percentage of your relevant budget to help vital pieces of global open infrastructure on their way to sustainability.’
Thank you for considering funding these essential infrastructures! Find out how to pledge here.
