Crossref has a Request For Information (RFI) call out for some community research consultancy using focus groups to understand affordability challenges and capacity to pay among academic-led journals and other organisations that are not (yet) members. Share widely please especially if you know any good market research agencies with a global/multilingual slant.

She's a wise wise woman herself, so I know it's going to touch a nerve with many of us. if this is your thing and you're in/near London, pls support independent art and get tickets! https://www.arcolatheatre.com/whats-on/broken-water-2/

I wrote a thing with Matt Buys regarding how @datacite and @crossref 's particular _flavour_ of DOI infrastructures are super cost-effective and globally useable. Always more to be done to break down even more barriers and our respective communities and boards are on it. https://upstream.force11.org/working-for-global-equity-through-digital-object-identifiers/

If you love talking to people about rate limits, uptime, API querying and key management (😂) then this job could be perfect for you! As our brand new Technical Community Manager, you would help Crossref scale up programs to provide a proactive and collaborative experience for all the tools and services that integrate with our open metadata and infrastructure. Deadline extended to 22nd May. Come work with us! [please also share and boost?] https://www.crossref.org/jobs/2023-04-20-technical-community-manager/

I’m excited to be recruiting for this new role to oversee and manage @crossref membership. You’d be working with 18,000 members in 150 countries and managing two staff and three contractors globally. Who wouldn’t love such a challenge? Especially those into a combo of data, process/ops, and relationship management. If you happen to want to support #openscience infrastructure too then maybe we’re the team for you. https://www.crossref.org/jobs/2023-04-13-member-experience-manager/

I have uncovered, in the mud pit that is now my back garden, several slate pub signs from Victorian London! Now obsessed with the #pubhistories website too and feel I’ve come to know FF Anstiss (Frederick Freethy Anstiss) and his family!

Global #CommunityEngagement requires a broad set of skills from project and program management to communications and facilitation. If you *know* this and are keen to improve #openinfrastructure, can express the value of #metadata (in more than one language), and can happily work with Euro, Africa, and/or Asia timezones, then please consider coming to work for @crossref. It's useful work, and we're quite nice too! 😃 #job #communitymanager #scicomm #openscience https://www.crossref.org/jobs/2022-11-21-community-engagement-manager/

Spent many weeks writing this with @epentz and quite proud of it. Even though a diagram would have been helpful (but... time...). We gathered some practical steps for funders to be able to meet things like the OSTP Nelson memo and #openscience more broadly by joining and integrating with the (fortunately already existing) open infrastructures @crossref @datacite @ORCID_Org and ror.org. https://www.crossref.org/blog/how-funding-agencies-can-meet-ostp-and-open-science-guidance-using-existing-open-infrastructure/
