We wrapped up the MoCHI project — a year-long study of how community health frameworks and metrics shape decisions about open research infrastructure.
Key finding: frameworks like CHAOSS, FOREST, and POSI are useful — but mainly for internal self-assessment, not external evaluation.

What stakeholders actually use? 11 recurring themes, shaped by trust and tension.

📢 Today, we announce Kathleen Shearer, ED of @coar_repositories as the Closing Keynote Speaker at the #WACREN2026

👉 https://wacren2026.wacren.net/?profile=keynote-2

For 20 years, Kathleen has helped shape a more interoperable and collaborative research communication ecosystem through #openrepositories and shared standards.

Her closing keynote will highlight how #openinfrastructure and trusted #scholarlycommunication ecosystems are strengthening Africa’s capacity to contribute to the global knowledge economy. 👏 👏

Building and maintaining open infrastructure is an active and ongoing process, and we align this work with the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) to be more intentional and transparent about how we support sustainability, community governance, and responsible stewardship. We’re proud to share an updated POSI self-assessment that reaffirms our commitment to openness: https://doi.org/10.5438/fdqk-vc49
