Force11
FORCE11 (Future Of Research Communications and E-scholarship) is a non-profit, community-based organization established after the 2011 Beyond the PDF meeting[1] in San Diego, dedicated to the transformation of scholarly communications through technology. It is a multi-disciplinary community, bringing together researchers, scholars, publishers, librarians, technologists, funders and anyone interested in building a scholarly communications infrastructure for 21st-century technology. FORCE11 holds an annual meeting, FORCE (formerly known as Beyond the PDF) which brings together these stakeholder groups for discussions and information sharing. FORCE11 also hosts community working groups that address issues in scholarly communications, e.g., data citation,[2] software citation, the Resource Identification Initiative. Its founding principles are described in a manifesto[3] published on October 28, 2011.
