The COAR Notify Initiative is developing and accelerating community adoption of a standard, interoperable, and decentralised approach (using Linked Data Notifications) to link research outputs hosted in the distributed network of repositories with resources from external services, such as overlay-journals and open peer review services.
COAR is extremely grateful for the generous funding support from Arcadia, a charitable foundation. The funded project began on July 1, 2022 and will last for four years.

What are we doing?
1. COAR Notify protocol We have developed a common protocol that enables widespread interoperability across repositories and other services.
2. Knowledge base We are creating a growing number of resources to help with COAR Notify implementation. These include detailed use cases, scenarios, work flows and other guidance documents.
3. Support for implementing partners We are working with implementing partners to provide funding and technical support to adopt COAR Notify in their platforms and systems.
COAR Notify is being adopted by a growing number of repositories, open source platforms, and overlay services. See a list of implementers in the COAR Notify Catalogue.
How does it work?
COAR Notify can be used in many different scenarios (e.g. connecting related resources across the scholarly ecosystem), but we are currently focusing on connecting preprints / articles in repositories with external peer reviews. See the example scenario below.
