CORE (core.ac.uk), a not-for-profit service delivered by The Open University in partnership with Jisc, has been serving the scholarly community since 2011 and in that time has experienced phenomenal growth in every way. CORE collates Open Access research from over 10,500 data providers across the world and is now the largest collection of open access research literature. Over 30 million users each month access CORE, either via search or one of our services. We have also worked hard to develop services for our data providers and support them with tools to help better manage the content in their repositories, including improving discoverability, registering unique persistent identifiers, enriching content with data such as missing DOIs and helping monitor that their content remains compliant with Open Access policies and mandates.
We’re hugely excited to announce the pre-launch of the CORE Membership program, designed exclusively for organisations such as academic institutions and data providers.

I am CORE Ambassador in Nepal. I am a development professional involved in different Organizations (NGO, INGO.) that are related to education including library and literacy promotion, sustainable development etc.
I the above connection, do I need to take membership separately?
Thank you for you efforts in supporting Core as an Ambassador in Nepal! The membership scheme is for Core data providers (repositories) and is separate from the Ambassador’s Network. Hope this helps.
