FORCE11 is an international coalition of researchers, librarians, publishers and research funders working to reform or enhance the research publishing and communication system. Initiated in 2011 as a community of interest on scholarly communication, FORCE11 is a registered 501(c)(3) organization based in the United States but with members and partners around the world. Key activities include an annual conference, the Scholarly Communications Institute and a range of working groups.

History

FORCE11 grew out of the FORC Workshop held in Dagstuhl, Germany in August 2011.{{Cite journal|last=Neylon|first=Cameron|date=2018-04-05|title=Social infrastructures in research communication: a personal view of the FORCE11 story|journal=Insights: The UKSG Journal|language=en|volume=31|doi=10.1629/uksg.404|issn=2048-7754|doi-access=free|hdl=20.500.11937/67101|hdl-access=free}} This meeting resulted in the collaborative creation of a white paper{{Cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxmdXR1cmVvZnJlc2VhcmNoY29tbXVuaWNhdGlvbnN8Z3g6M2FhNTMyOWRiZjk5NGFmNg|title=Force11 White Paper: Improving The Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}} which summarized the problems of scholarly communication and proposed a vision to address them.

Activities

Through various working groups FORCE11 has undertaken a range of activities to improve the standards, interoperability and functionality of digital research communications and developed various statements on principles and policies for best practice. These include:
