This issue of Archipelago explores how the community sustains, preserves, and strengthens open scholarly infrastructure. We examine PKP’s participation in TSOSI and the question of who funds open infrastructure, and sit down with Suzanne Beth and Urooj Nizami for a conversation on openness, enclosure, and the commons. We also share an update to the PKP Preservation Network for OJS 3.5 LTS, highlight the Ukrainian Historical Journal’s new home on OJS, and round up resources from across the community for users. Catch up on the latest news from Coalition Publica and PKP Research. |

The PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) provides journals using Open Journal Systems (OJS) with a long-term way to preserve published content. This free preservation service is a safeguard against content loss if a journal’s website or server becomes unavailable. It also allows smaller journals to access a digital preservation infrastructure that might otherwise be difficult or costly to maintain. This update ensures that journals using OJS 3.5 can continue to use the service. |
