Mission and programs · 2023

• PUBPUB: IN 2023, THE TEAM BEGAN WORKING ON A NEW ITERATION OF PUBPUB, NOW REFERRED TO AS PUBPUB PLATFORM (WITH THE PREVIOUS VERSION CALLED PUBPUB LEGACY), WITH PLANS TO PROVIDE A FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE, CENTRALLY HOSTED, FULL-STACK KNOWLEDGE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS COMMUNITIES TO TAILOR THEIR PUBLISHING WORKFLOWS AND OUTPUTS BEYOND LEGACY'S CAPABILITIES. BUILT TO SUPPORT SELF-HOSTING AND ON-PREMISE DEPLOYMENTS WITHOUT PROPRIETARY DEPENDENCIES, THE PLATFORM IS HIGHLY ADAPTABLE TO DIVERSE PARTNER NEEDS. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED BUILDING INITIAL PLATFORM FEATURES WITH UNJOURNAL, LAUNCHING OER WITH CHOP AND UPENN, AND PUBLISHING INFLUENTIAL SERIES, SUCH AS MIT'S EXPLORATION OF GENERATIVE AI. DOCMAPS: IN 2023 WE DEVELOPED A SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR PRODUCING AND CONSUMING DOCMAPS, REACHED OUT TO PREPRINT SERVERS AND REVIEW COMMUNITIES TO ASSESS INTEGRATION NEEDS, AND WORKED ON SPECIFICATIONS FOR APIS AND DISPLAY PURPOSES. WE PARTICIPATED IN CONVERSATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS ABOUT PREPRINT REVIEW METADATA, AND FOUND THE COMMUNITY INVESTED IN ITS OPEN-SOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE. FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION GROUP, WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND THE NUMBER AND VARIETY OF GROUPS WITH WHOM THEY INTERACT, AND LEARN ABOUT KEY NEEDS FOR METADATA TRANSFER PATHWAYS AMONG STAKEHOLDERS. OVER 12,000 DOCMAPS ARE CREATED AND/OR CONSUMED VIA PLATFORMS FROM FIVE ORGANIZATIONS (COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY, ELIFE, EUROPE PMC, KOTAHI, AND EMBO), RELATING TO THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITY REVIEWS, PUBLICATIONS, AND OTHER PREPRINT ARTIFACTS.

  Expenses $2,215,530 · Revenue $372,286

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
