How can we improve? Tell us in the OpenCitations Community Survey

[Chiara Di Giambattista]

Dear all,

I am sharing this message on behalf of OpenCitations, an open scholarly infrastructure that provides open bibliographic and citation data to support transparent, reproducible, and community-driven research.

As a community-based initiative, OpenCitations aims to maintain a direct and meaningful connection with its users, supporters, and all those who engage with our resources. For this reason, we invite you to participate in the OpenCitations Community Survey and, if possible, to share it within your networks.

Whether you are a regular user, a supporter, a partner institution, or someone who has only recently come across OpenCitations (even if you have never used our data or services), this survey is an opportunity for you to tell us what works, what could be improved, and what you would like to see in the future. Your voice is essential to ensure that OpenCitations continues to meet real community needs and serves the global research ecosystem effectively.

Your feedback will help us:

• Improve our services and datasets;
• Identify new features and priorities aligned with community needs;
• Strengthen our engagement with you and with the broader open science ecosystem.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and all responses will be treated confidentially and reported only in aggregate form.

👉 Take the survey here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/GYSZ230686

We would be very grateful if you could also circulate the survey within your community, helping us gather diverse insights and perspectives that will guide our next steps.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Kind regards,
The OpenCitations Team
