Our principles

Community Governed

Decisions regarding the future directions of CORE are made based on community feedback and in line with our mission statement, giving the community confidence that we are here to serve open research.

Transparent

The Board of Supporters is a critical component of CORE’s governance structure. The processes through which members can influence our development roadmap are fully transparent and documented.

Inclusive

Participation in the Board of Supporters is non-discriminatory. Any data provider is welcome to become our Supporting or Sustaining member and participate in the governance of CORE.

support

While support for open access and open research is growing rapidly, the future of open scholarly infrastructure services, including CORE, is by no means secured. As the number of CORE users has been fast growing, reaching millions of monthly active users and being among the most used open infrastructures globally, so have costs.

To sustain CORE as a mission-aligned widely used open scholarly infrastructure, we need both the support and advice of the community of open repositories and journals.

Join our Board of Supporters and help shape our future!

How it works
