POSI self-audit

The Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) are a set of community-based principles that open scholarly infrastructure organisations and initiatives that support the research community can be guided by and adhere to.

POSI encourages open scholarly infrastructures to complete a self-assessment against the Principles. OAPEN and DOAB are separate but interconnected infrastructures for open access books. As such, the two organisations have different governance, so in May 2023 we carried out a self-audit for each (linked below). We hope you agree that seeing the two self-audits side-by-side helps to compare and contrast the ways they operate.

In 2025, we plan to review our audits against the revised POSI 2.0 after they’ve finished a community consultation.
