If you haven’t heard, we're launching a completely reimagined open-access repository in 2024. It’s currently under heavy construction. 🚜🚧🦺

In the newest Building the Commons blog, Ian Scott, our developer leading the project, shows why the new repository is vital to the life of the Commons! https://building.hcommons.org/2023/09/26/what-is-a-repository-for/

What Is A Repository For? – Building the Commons

@hello Immediate sort-of-obvious question: why not Zenodo?
@mike @hello Hey Mike! I'm the product manager on the Commons and the resident librarian on the team. Zenodo is much more of a traditional repository. It's meant to preserve work, but isn't set up intentionally as a workspace for where work is done. The Commons is very interested in extending our repository to not just be a place for saving and preserving work, but a workspace for OA journals, a location where open peer review can be done, and for the curation of content. I think the intention is quite different, and functionality is currently in development to encourage those uses.
@BatsInLavender Thanks, Bonnie, that's very clear and makes perfect sense. Best wishes for this initiative!
