Update. Open Research Europe (#ORE) is still planning to shift from closed to #OpenSource, and from proprietary to #OpenInfrastructure.

"[ORE] should be collectively owned and supported by research funders and research institutions and operate as a service for researchers with no author facing fees. The aim is for the infrastructure of the platform to be open source."


The #EuropeanCommission is finally considering whether "#OpenSource software (#OSS)…can be used as a foundation for developing the new #publishing platform" for EC-funded #OpenAccess research.

Unfortunately, the new software would merely "underpin" #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE), not replace it. ORE is proprietary software owned by #TaylorAndFrancis. When the EC called for bids on ORE, it did not require open code despite many calls to do so.

#FLOSS #OpenInfrastructure


Update. Very good news: The European Commission picked #OpenJournalSystems (#OJS) to be the #OpenSource core of #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE).

At least at its core, the primary platform for hosting EC-funded #OpenAccess research will finally now be #OpenInfrastructure.
