Hey all,
I wanted to let you know that we launched an initiative this morning called: Initiative for Open Citations https://i4oc.org/ (I4OC).
Prior to the launch of I4OC, only 1% of scholarly papers made citation data available in the open. Today, that number has jumped to 40%. We're proud to make a growing piece of fundamental data for open knowledge available to everyone, with no copyright restriction whatsoever.
The I4OC has been in the making for the past 6 months, with lots of individual discussions with scholarly publishers, asking them to flip the switch and release this data. Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimedia UK, the Wiki Edu Foundation, the Internet Archive, Mozilla, PLOS and many other open knowledge and open data organizations are among the official endorsers of the initiative.
You can read more about this initiative on a post https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/04/06/initiative-for-open-citations/ we published this morning on the Wikimedia Blog, on the joint press release https://i4oc.org/press.html, or follow @i4oc_org https://twitter.com/i4oc_org for more updates.
Best, Dario
Dario and team,
this is a terrific achievement. Proud to see the Foundation create transparency in citation data!
All the best,
Victoria
