ICYMI, we've added support for several record types to Metadata Manager. By making it easier to register more research outputs in Metadata Manager, we're helping members contribute richer metadata that connects people, outputs, institutions, funding, and more. Together, these connections help build the research nexus, making scholarly information easier to discover, cite, connect and reuse. Explore the new record types available in Metadata Manager 👉https://lnkd.in/eZjmzM5U and read more on our blog https://lnkd.in/eXrq4pMG #MetadataManager #PID

After a week of our funder matching being in production 🔗https://lnkd.in/epeJZRua we’re already seeing more funder matching activity than anticipated 👀 We expected around 1,000 matches per day, based on an estimate of 50,000 works with funding metadata being deposited each week. What we’re seeing is roughly twice that number, reflecting higher volumes of funding metadata deposited! #FundingMetadata #MetadataEnrichment

How do we fund the open access system we want? We need to move from isolated projects and fragmented support towards strategic, sustainable funding for Diamond OA. That means asking: Where can existing resources be redirected? What funding models work? What role should governments, funders, universities and libraries play? And how can different regions learn from one another? No single organisation can answer these questions alone. From September to November 2026, the regional and cross-regional Diamond OA Policy Fora will focus on funding Diamond OA, showcasing the strategic funding approaches of national policymakers, research funders, universities, and libraries across Africa, Europe, and Latin America, while also highlighting initiatives or models that make funding Diamond OA easier. If you are interested in funding Diamond OA, join the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eZ_GT_B5 #DOAPolicyForum
