As an inclusive, member-run portal, it hopes to connect rather than replace numerous non-profit and open-source OA initiatives, which tend to lack a visible and attractive front end, and which may not currently be interoperable. If its goals can be realized, SH may offer one solution to the full workflow platforms that for-profit conglomerates are on the cusp of achieving. This practitioner’s paper presents the key characteristics of SH and offers an early progress report.inclusivityscholarly communicationsopen accessscholarly communities of practiceacademic social networksintreoperability[SHS.INFO]Humanities and Social Sciences/Library and information sciencesAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)2018-06-202018-06-202018-06-20engjournal article https://hal.science/hal-01816817v1open accesshttp://elpub.episciences.org/4625/pdfVoRapplication/pdfElPub - ELectronic PUBlishingConnecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable InfrastructurePractitioner PapersResearchersStudents
