Hi all,
As you’re likely already aware, the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC) was launched a couple of weeks ago on April 6, 2017. Over the course of about six months, the initiative has made a large fraction of the citation data that link all scholarship freely available.
Mark Patterson, eLife’s Executive Director, and Catriona MacCallum, PLOS Advocacy Director, are both involved in the I4OC. They have written a blog post explaining more about how the initiative began and where it could lead.

If you’d like to speak to us further about the initiative and eLife’s involvement, please just let me know.
Best wishes,
Emily
