Transcript

1. Transparency to sustain open science infrastructure Maxence Larrieu, PhD 2025-03 - Printemps Couperin
2. the more the libraries appreciate the connection between the content and the infrastructure, the more they might be willing to pay for, support, or subsidize the infrastructure as well Peter Suber, 2021, Open Science infrastructures, SCOSS Webinar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwSoFKFCjic ’’
3. Project factsheet Leader Partners Funder
4. It’s somewhat like OpenAPC 1.
5. Project factsheet
6. Started in 2014 In 2025, OpenAPC bring together 636 institutions from 24 countries The 7 countries with the most contributing institutions country nb_institutions Germany 136 France 112 the United Kingdom 102 Switzerland 51 Finland 46 Sweden 39 Austria 38 https://github.com/OpenAPC/openapc-de/
7. TSOSI is like OpenAPC, but for commitments made to open science infrastructure
8. As OpenAPC, TSOSI • is a solution to practise open data • is a strategic tool to understand the dynamics of open science
9. Why is TSOSI needed? 2.
10. The more we highlight those who have funded, the more funders we will attract #mimicry
11. • TSOSI data are traces of the choices made to support infrastructure • The more a user explores these data, the more evident it will be for them why to support open infrastructure #reasons
12. why We know much more about why we should purchase content than why we should fund open science infrastructure We know much more about why we should purchase content than why we should fund open science infrastructure
13. We make much more noise when we buy products, than when we contribute to common goods #sound
14. A non-existent APC isn't quite as noticeable as one you have to pay Caux, J.-S. (2024-10). Diamond sustainability requires sustenance scipost.org/blog/post/2024-10-07/diamond-sustainability-requires-sustenance ’’
15. How does TSOSI work? 3.
16. We collect financial data from TSOSI partners 1 For 2025, we are collecting data from TSOSI infrastructure partners: DOAJ, DOAB, PCI, SciPost, OPERAS
17. We enrich and curate this data with ROR and Wikidata identifiers 2 Which allows to deduplicate and retrieves description and logos from Wikipedia
18. We build attractive dataviz so that everyone can explore and make sense of this data 3
19. We build attractive dataviz so that everyone can explore and make sense of this data wants to contribute to open infrastructures 3
