<h3><center>EarthArXiv response regarding COS's new funding model</center></h3>
<br/>
<p>January 21, 2020</p>
<p>Center for Open Science</p>
<p>From: The Advisory Council of EarthArXiv</p>
<p>Re: EarthArXiv ending its partnership with COS July 21, 2020</p>
<p>Reply to: Tom Narock</p>
<p>On June 2, 2017, Matt Spitzer—the Community Manager of COS—made a bid to have EarthArXiv hosted on the OSF.
In this talk, <a href="https://youtu.be/xT2yyW1c6zA">ESIP Pre-Print Cluster: First Telecon: OSF Pre-Print
service description</a>, he convinced EarthArXiv that COS would be responsible for the technical side and
fundraising. He said that this would leave the volunteers of EarthArXiv to do what they could do best:
bring open preprint services to the diverse domains of Earth Science, and spark the cultural changes needed
to make preprints a part of the Earth Science research workflow. At that time, EarthArXiv volunteers were
evaluating various platforms. We chose to partner with COS because of the promises COS made to support our
preprint platform into the future.</p>
<p>Over the past two years, EarthArXiv volunteers have worked to bring preprint services into the Earth
Sciences with talks at conferences, webinars, an active social media effort, and promotion among professional
networks. At the same time, volunteers have curated submissions to EarthArXiv on the COS platform, engaging
authorship teams and answering questions. The result is more than a thousand pre/post-prints currently available
on the site.</p>
<p>Because of recent changes in the COS’s plans to financially support the preprint platform, the EarthArXiv
advisory committee is coordinating the migration of EarthArXiv to an alternative platform with guaranteed
long-term financial security. We regret that circumstances have made this decision necessary. We understand
the financial needs inherent in running a preprint system. However, the model COS plans to implement is
competitive - pitting preprint communities against each other for the same funding sources - and ignores the
repeated concerns of the preprint community leadership. Additionally, the fee structure proposed by COS hinders
growing servers and is especially damaging to preprint groups serving underrepresented and financially
challenged communities. This does not align with our ethos of how EarthArXiv should operate.</p>
<p>We ask that COS work with us to make this transition as seamless as possible. We are eager that Earth
scientists remain confident about the long-term stability of preprint services, the availability of their
work on the web, and the durability of the DOI links they use. Scholars need to know that their preprints
are secure, findable, and permanently hosted. Otherwise, the very idea of preprints as a viable way to
disseminate knowledge quickly and without financial barriers is undermined: not only for our specific
EarthArXiv community, but for all of them.</p>
<p>We kindly request the following from COS:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the spirit of the original promises made to EarthArXiv in 2017, we ask that EarthArXiv can remain
active on the OSF until July 21, 2020, without any payment.</li>
<li>During this time, we ask your assistance copying and moving the existing preprints and their metadata
to EarthArXiv’s new platform, once established.</li>
<li>Following the migration of EarthArXiv, we ask that COS work with us to redirect the existing DOIs to
the new URLs.</li>
</ol>
<p>We appreciate that the Center for Open Science is dedicated to the future of open science, and that COS
has its own funding needs and other plans to support the future of science. We wish you well in your
future efforts. We hope that facilitating the smooth transition of EarthArXiv to a new hosting environment
is one more way that COS can demonstrate its ongoing commitment to open science.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>EarthArXiv Advisory Council</p>
