A statement from Renate Pfann, Head of Library, University College of Teacher Education Vienna: "We strongly believe that open science is essential to ensure that research knowledge is adequately shared as the public good it ought to be. Moreover, visualizing search results the way Open Knowledge Maps does, allows researchers and the wider public to explore scientific outputs more intuitively and reveal connections between topics. We are very glad to support Open Knowledge Maps in making open science more accessible, transparent, and impactful."

A statement from Prof. Dr. Christian Obinger, Vice Rector for Research and Innovation of BOKU University: "We joined Open Knowledge Maps as a supporting member because BOKU is developing its own innovative research information system and Open Knowledge Maps helps us to better highlight and communicate research results."
