Funding From Wellcome Enables Momentum on the eLife Pathways Project
eLife received £2.4 million (about $3.2 million) in funding from Wellcome that will go toward supporting its new initiative, eLife Pathways, which aims to build an open and collaborative ecosystem for new ways to approach scholarly communication. It has the following goals: “to enhance eLife’s existing technology so that it serves the community; to co-develop an open-source tool that will have significant community impact; and to provide technology that supports critical community projects, ensuring their adoption and contribution to the ecosystem.” “Transforming research communication requires infrastructure that communities everywhere can rely on. Through eLife Pathways, we are investing in open, interoperable technologies that lower technical barriers and enable journals worldwide—particularly in under-resourced regions—to participate fully in a more equitable and connected research ecosystem,” says Kamran Naim, incoming chairperson of eLife’s board of directors. “We’re grateful to Wellcome for recognising the importance of strengthening these foundations for the wider scholarly community.” For more information, read the news item.
