Europe PMC Library started with conversations with users like you!
You told us saving papers for later was a must-have, so we created Library (beta).
We’re still shaping it, and your feedback can guide what comes next. Give it a try and tell us what you think 👇

That’s a wrap on today’s POSI V2 webinar by @barcelonadori.bsky.social.
Across @crossref.bsky.social, @datacite.org, @doaj.bsky.social, and Europe PMC, one message stood out:
Principles drive real change when embedded in governance and daily operations.
Follow #POSIv2 for our speaker highlights.
Melissa Harrison on how #EuropePMC applies POSI to sustainability:
• Moving to open-first code with documentation for reuse
• Preserving software via @softwareheritage.org
POSI shapes our funder engagement and long-term planning, and is embedded in our next funding application.
#POSIv2
Joanna Ball from @doaj.bsky.social on adopting POSI:
• Value-led decision making
• Clearer articulation of operations
• Alignment with community expectations
POSI has informed governance changes, community-owned metadata, and stronger reserves.
POSI is a community of practice.
#POSIv2
Matt Buys from @datacite.org explains how POSI V2 was refined, focusing on community input.
What changed:
- Clearer expectations
- Stronger trust via operational transparency
- Better continuity planning
- Sustainability beyond funding
POSI V2: openscholarlyinfrastructure.org
#POSIv2
Lucy Ofiesh shares how POSI shaped practice at @crossref.bsky.social
POSI informs decisions, driving:
• Open reference data
• Annual public data dumps
• Regular, transparent governance reviews
• A community-reusable patent non-assertion policy
• A reserve fund and financial policy
#POSIv2
📌 What is POSI?
The Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure, developed in 2015, guide governance and sustainability of open infrastructure.
Designed to build trust through transparency and community accountability.

Software drives science, but it’s often invisible 😩
Well not if the SoFAIR project has anything to do with it!
SoFAIR uncovered hidden software mentions in Europe PMC, making them searchable, traceable, and reusable first-class bibliographic entries!

Powerful search made simple
We redesigned Advanced Search into an intuitive query builder, making complex searches easier.
You can even see how each line of the query affects the number of search results. So you can spot errors quickly and adjust your approach when needed.

Read the full story on our blog: blog.europepmc.org/2026/01/euro...
As 2025 comes to a close, we would like to thank everyone who has been part of Europe PMC this year.
A huge thank you to our funders and partners who make Europe PMC possible, and all of our users whose feedback helps us continually develop new tools and features.
Here’s to more discovery in 2026!
Screenshot of the Europe PMC homepage showing a central search bar for life sciences literature, with over 47 million research outputs. Below the search bar are three feature panels highlighting Europe PMC's focuses which are “Innovative features,” “Comprehensive search,” and “Trusted partnerships,” highlighting search tools, global literature coverage, and partnerships including PubMed Central and ELIXIR.
Feeling stuck tweaking the same search again and again, but it’s still not quite right? 😫
Our #EPMCTopTips thread shares smart ways to get better results, faster.
Reply in the comments with what’s frustrating you about searching, and we’ll tackle it in the new year👇
