What if scholarly communication was the infrastructure connecting research?

With the new EOSC Scholarly Commons Node, OpenAIRE and OPERAS are bringing it into the core of EOSC.

Why this matters:
🔹 easier discovery and connected tools for researchers
🔹 stronger visibility and responsible assessment for institutions
🔹 a more open, community-governed research ecosystem

What does responsible research assessment look like in practice?

At #QQML2026, we will present how the @OpenAIREGraph connects research outputs, funding, affiliations, and collaborations to enable more balanced, context-aware researcher evaluation.

We'll also introduce #MyResearchFolio, a pilot service combining structured indicators with narrative CV elements.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is piloting RAiD to track research projects from inception - not just the papers and patents at the end.

Their open-source tool ACORN aims to reduce duplication, surface collaboration opportunities, and give sponsors, policymakers, and job-seekers a clearer picture of what's happening at one of the world's largest federally funded labs.

Great write-up from @Lyrasis 👇
