PKP is pleased to release its Annual Report for fiscal year 2023, including updates on software development and usage, advisory committee, community governance, committees and interest groups, research, publishing services, Coalition Publica partnership, financial and operations, contributors, and more.
It’s been another exciting and productive year, with lots to celebrate during PKP’s 25th Anniversary! We’re pleased to present our Annual Report for the 2023 fiscal year, with updates from our community.
PKP’s institutional home is Simon Fraser University, and we’re proud to be a Core Research Facility of SFU as of 2022. Of particular note is that SFU has partnered with PKP since 2005, almost two decades – a testament to the community nature of the project.
Now that we’re an SFU Core Facility, you will have likely noticed some branding changes in 2023, but PKP is still the same community-driven project it has always been. Being an SFU Core Facility supports the fact that PKP is still not, and never will be for sale!
This year, PKP has taken a different approach to our annual report. You’ll find the report is much more visual than in the past, filled with connections to valuable aspects of our organization that you may have missed in the past.
PKP works to put resources in the hands of the people so that communities can do scholarly publishing in-line with their own commercial-free, knowledge-sharing missions and values.
