On this last day of the year we celebrate that we’ve been fully operational for two years. We proudly share our 31 December statistics with you:

233,000 messages were sent via OA Switchboard in 2022 (‘messages’ = standardised sets of publication-level metadata)

The vast majority were sent by participating publishers to research funders and institutions/consortia to support the Reporting Made Easy use case (so-called P1-messages). In 2022 the number of publishers reporting via the standardised protocol grew to 22 publishers. 

To date, 9 (national) consortia and multi-site participants (jointly representing hundreds of sites/members) are connected to OA Switchboard. In addition, 75 individual research institutions/libraries have operational accounts in OA Switchboard. 16 research funders have accounts and/or participate in the extended funder pilot(s). In total, over 2,500 organisations are set-up to receive messages via OA Switchboard.

In 2022, our stakeholders continued to build a fantastic community of like-minded spirits focussed on a mission. We’re grateful for our founding partners, launch customers and early adopters, and thank them all, as well as our sponsors, tech partner and strategic partner OASPA.
