"Towards Responsible Publishing" - Structured organisational feedback responses

<p><a href="https://www.research-consulting.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research Consulting</a> and the <a href="https://www.cwts.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS)</a> were commissioned to determine to what extent the vision, mission and objectives set out in the TRP proposal serve the needs of the global research community. Through a consultative approach, we sought to assess whether there is appetite for the type of change proposed by cOAlition S in the TRP proposal. In addition, we aimed to understand how the &lsquo;Towards Responsible Publishing&rsquo; proposal may be modified or refined to ensure it resonates with the research community and sees broad adoption; identify any showstoppers or unintended consequences and propose proactive measures to mitigate them, ensuring successful implementation; and ascertain whether the existing scholaly communication infrastructure can support this proposal and if not, identify where research funders can strengthen the infrastructure.&nbsp;</p> <p>As part of our consultation, we gathered structured organisational feedback from underrepresented groups and organisations in the scholarly communication ecosystem. We received responses from a total of 10 organisations, of which 9 were willing to be named publicly in the document enclosed below and 1 opted to remain anonymous.
