In recent years, #SciPost has grown into an essential open science infrastructure.
Our sustainability is however under threat.
Only 147 out of 1351 (a mere 11%) benefitting organizations have supported us.
This ongoing level of freeriding means we are now at a crossroads.
Academic organizations urgently need to change tack and fulfil their promise to sustainably support scientists-led, not-for-profit publishing infrastructure.
Help us convince them to support us.
