Infrastructure Integration

By integrating and interoperating with existing research infrastructure, compliance and access outcomes are improved because systemic friction is reduced and sustainability is enhanced through reuse rather than replication. This strategy emphasizes connecting and harmonizing disparate systems—such as publisher platforms, repositories, and agency portals—rather than building standalone solutions. It prioritizes workflow-embedded automation, model neutrality, and data transparency to reduce researcher burden and enable scalable, long-term open access, distinguishing it from approaches that focus on new publishing models or institutional partnerships in isolation.
