Libraries of seven academic organisations from Norway have joined forces with UNIT (the Norwegian Directorate for ICT and Joint Services in Higher Education & Research) and this group now provides national support to SciPost. They are the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the Norwegian Institute for Water Research, the Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research (SINTEF), University of Oslo, the Arctic University of Norway and the University of Bergen. It is SciPost’s dream that global scientific infrastructure is managed and financed by the global scientific community. This support from Norway is a nice illustration how research institutes can work as a team towards open science.

SciPost discussions with sponsors

11 April 2022 

Last Tuesday April 5, the SciPost team presented a webinar to representatives of sponsoring institutions. SciPost informed them about the organisation, the team, the information we provide on our website, our financial situation and our current thoughts about support from sponsors contributions. SciPost is publishing 30% more papers each year and we discussed with sponsors how to manage this growth.
About 25 participants attended the meeting and there was lively discussion, in particular about how to determine reasonable sponsorship levels.
SciPost is a community-led initiative to put academics back in control of the scientific publishing process. We are delighted about 80 (and growing) institutions support our activities and want to discuss with us the best way forward. Thank you!
