As a supra-regional infrastructure facility, TIB has been operating a consortial office for many years – time to give an insight into the consortial business at TIB. In this blog post, we would like to explain who our customers are and who uses TIB’s services in the area of media and license management.

From 1 June 2023 to 1 July 2023, a funding call for seven journals in quantum physics, mathematics, and computer science is underway. Libraries, research institutions, foundations, companies and individuals can make a financial contribution to ensure that these journals can exist sustainably as open access journals – without author-facing publishing fees.

In 2022, TIB awarded its ORKG Curation Grants for the second time. 10 researchers from several disciplines made continuous entries in the ORKG in their field of research and contributed significant research issues to the ORKG. In this blog post, we introduce two of the them and show how they have worked with the ORKG and how their research has benefited from the ORKG.

The TIB is developing ConfIDent, a platform to provide sustainable information on scientific events as part of a DFG funded project. It is a service for researchers, universities, infrastructure institutions, and professional societies based on the FAIR principles. We launched ConfIDent last year, but since then the system has grown again and there is more to discover.

As part of the HORIZON Europe framework programme, the European Commission will fund a project of 23 partners to strengthen the landscape of institutional publishing for three years from January 1st. Within this field, there is a special focus on so-called „Diamond Open Access“, open access publishing without payments by readers or authors. The TIB is one of the participating organisations and ties this in with some of its current focal points in the open access field.
