Support the financial sustainability of Jisc open policy finder

The Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS) is a network of organisations committed to securing the financial future of key open research infrastructures. SCOSS was formed in 2017, with Sherpa Romeo and the DOAJ being the nominated infrastructures for the pilot funding cycle.

The Sherpa Romeo dataset is incorporated into one service, open policy finder, which offers listings of journal policies, book policies and funder policies in one place. Jisc open policy finder data is free to all global users at the point of access through the user interface and the API.

Open policy finder needs your support to maintain its ongoing financial sustainability and therefore to enable the provision of its important datasets to the global open research landscape.

If you find our service valuable, please use the form below to pledge your financial support.

SCOSS recommends various annual donation levels depending on the size of the organisation:

  • Small organisations: 2,000 euros
  • Large organisations: 4,000 euros
  • Please bear in mind that these figures are guidelines only, so please feel free to suggest an alternative amount dependent on the circumstances of your organisation.

For any consortia that wish to pledge, these figures can be applied to each of the organisations belonging to the consortia. We are pleased to offer a 25% discount to consortia having 10 members or more - please let us know in the message section of the form.

Once your form is received, a member of our team will be in touch to help you move forward with your pledge.
