We recently announced our immediate archival strategy, which will ensure the content on ResearchEquals stays available in case of an immediate, disastrous event (e.g., accidents, business shutting down). In this post, we describe how we implemented this archive strategy, which is run at zero cost using open-source software. The immediate archive is continuously updated and made available using GitHub and GitHub Actions.

The agenda for our 12th assembly is here! This post is only available for our supporting members - see https://www.researchequals.com/supporting-member

When we publish research, we are committing to preserving that research content for as long as we can. At the same time, we need to be realistic and recognize that Liberate Science (”the business”) is still young and it remains uncertain how long we will be around. How do we make sure copies of the research are archived and available in futures that may or may not include the business?

On June 28th, we assembled our supporting community to decide next steps, together (see our original agenda). In this post, we report some key points for those who were unable to attend.Business development The business is progressing steadily, but our revenue is not growing fast enough to cover costs as they are. We had a great quarter, where we covered around 44% of our expenses with our own income.
