Advancing open science through innovation, together
We believe that building a truly equitable, global research ecosystem requires more than just better tools. It requires coordination and collaboration. We bridge technical inequalities by co-developing open-source infrastructure alongside a diverse community of researchers, technologists, and global partners.
By investing our resources into shared initiatives and aligning with others, we aim to move beyond isolated solutions to create a resilient, integrated ecosystem for open science. From empowering early-career researchers in the Global South to pioneering modular publishing paradigms with international collaborators, our work is driven by a "community-first" philosophy.
Our partnerships:
We are partnering with Public Knowledge Project (PKP) to build a high-fidelity JATS-XML production solution that gives journals more publishing options, regardless of platform or location. By enhancing existing tools with open-source LLMs, our approach will lower the cost and complexity that exclude many open-access journals—especially in the global south—from this standard.
The result will be a free, automated way for any journal to produce standards-compliant, machine-readable metadata.
" We are collaborating with eLife Pathways by sharing our expertise in open source and contributing to building technologies designed for universal integration and maximum community impact. "

In collaboration with Continuous Science Foundation (CSF) and openRxiv, this work contributes to the foundations of modular science. Together, we are advancing the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), a community-led standard for interoperable, structured scientific content.
OXA defines open, extensible schemas that support modular, composable scientific documents, helping bridge authoring tools and the broader scientific publishing ecosystem.
" Bringing eLife Pathways’ expertise into the development of OXA helps ensure today’s standards remain compatible, while contributing to a shared, modular infrastructure for the future of scientific communication. "

In collaboration with COMET we are advancing the open science ecosystem by building trusted models for community metadata curation and enrichment. Our efforts focus on enhancing metadata completeness, consistency, and interoperability through model training, data extraction, and transparent provenance documentation.
Our goal is to help COMET develop community-refined standards and ensure reliable and high-quality metadata across the entire research landscape.
" By collaborating with eLife Pathways, we are sharing the resources and expertise needed to ensure metadata becomes more complete, transparent, and interoperable, thereby setting a new standard for trust across the open science ecosystem. "
