A message from the Knowledge Exchange partner organisations

Dear visitor, thank you for your interest in Knowledge Exchange (KE). There are changes within the Knowledge Exchange organisation that we would like to inform you about.

As you may (or may not) know, 2025 marked the 20-year anniversary of Knowledge Exchange. Over two decades Knowledge Exchange played an important role bringing together subject matter experts to explore new ideas and develop knowledge around open science and scholarly communication. The reports and recommendations that have emerged from these collaborations continue to have impact on the open science landscape.

Despite the past successes, the anniversary has also been the occasion for the Knowledge Exchange partners to evaluate the current way of working and as a result we have jointly decided to terminate the Knowledge Exchange collaboration by 31 March 2026 in its existing form.

Since the Knowledge Exchange publications are read and shared widely, and over the years many people have been involved with Knowledge Exchange, we hope that this message will reach everyone for whom it may be relevant.

The last reports from the Small European Publishers and Alternative Publishing Practices working groups have been published, and a publication from the Persistent Identifiers for AI working group is expected by the end of 2026. All reports continue to be available at zenodo.org/communities/knowledge-exchange

As we do want to continue making use of the trust built between partners and experts we are exploring a new way of working for Knowledge Exchange (whether or not under the current name). If you want to stay informed, please reach out to one of the Knowledge Exchange partner organisations.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to Knowledge Exchange over the past years. None of this would have been possible without the hard work, expertise, and enthusiasm of those involved. Thank you!
