🔑 Open infrastructure requires a different mindset: from procurement to investment.

Instead of buying finished solutions, institutions collaboratively finance, shape and govern infrastructure that benefits the entire research community.

Invest in the future! #FundTheFutureYouWant

Infographic illustrating the shift from a commercial mindset (left, grey) to an open infrastructure mindset (right, turquoise). An arrow points from left to right, symbolising the shift in mindset. Seven key changes are illustrated through contrasting approaches: from buying finished solutions to building capabilities over time; from focusing on value for one's own organisation to considering the value for all stakeholders; from vendor training and support to community-based training and support; from custom development to customisable, community-driven solutions; from evaluating organisational usage alone to evaluating overall usage and potential; and from prioritising short-term needs to a long-term strategy. The comparison concludes with a shift from “Procurement”, symbolised by a padlock, to “Investment”, symbolised by a key. CC BY Open Knowledge Maps.

Who controls the infrastructure research depends on?

Commercial platforms create dependencies through proprietary systems and vendor lock-in.

Open infrastructures offer shared governance, transparent technologies and open licenses.

Infographic comparing the commercial model (grey, left) and the open infrastructure model (turquoise, right) side by side. The comparison contrasts customer–provider relationships with co-creation and shared governance; data as a business asset with data governed in the public interest; black-box algorithms with transparent, explainable AI; proprietary ecosystems with open licences and standards; and high licensing fees with moderate membership fees. The commercial model leads to lock-in effects, illustrated by a padlock, while the open infrastructure model enables community ownership, illustrated by a key.

💬 How can we ensure that scholarly infrastructures reflect our values?

I was interviewed for the Politics of Open Infrastructures blog about #FundTheFutureYouWant and why funding and governance matter.

Every investment helps shape our future digital research landscape.

If we want a sovereign digital future, we need to invest in the infrastructure that makes it possible.

We're deeply grateful to @sussex.ac.uk for their support of all #OAbooks #openinfrastructures that are part of @openbookcollective.bsky.social (including ours) 🙏

Read more about the university's decision to divest from a Big Deal, and how this has enabled them to support community-led #openaccess 😍
Screenshot of an article snippet, reading: "We recently made the decision to cancel one of our Big Five publishing deals, and we wouldn't have been able to do that had we not had the rights retention strategy in place." The university also supports Open Journal Systems (OJS) and invests in the Open Book Collective which supports both independent publishers and publishing service providers such as Thoth Open Metadata, OAPEN and DOAB. As commercial publishing agreements continue to consume a significant portion of library budgets, Bethany and her team are increasingly focusing on how spending can support frameworks that align with open research principles and deliver longer-term, sustainable value.

What about #selfarchiving to both (a) realize #openscience independently of journals and publishers and (b) stop millions of research papers from disappearing? We just need #openinfrastructures www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Act now to stop millions of research papers from disappearing
Digital preservation is not keeping up with the growth of scholarly knowledge. Recognizing its causes is the first step to securing records everywhere for future generations.
