The Scholarly Commons is a proposed commons iteration (going beyond open licenses) that encompasses the principles, best practices, interfaces and standards that can govern the multidirectional flow of scholarly objects through all phases of the research process from conception to dissemination, open to anyone who wants to participate. Many questions remain to be solved before this can come to full fruition: e.g. inclusivity, infrastructural conditions, governance issues. The Force11 Scholarly Commons Working Group presents advances made in this field, will launch the scholarly commons website and welcomes your participation.
