Abstract

[Purpose/significance]Dissectionon arXiv Sustainability Initiative governance and business model hopes that it can provide helpful experiences to ChinaXiv lauched in 2016 in the aspects of governance and business model, services and development and so on. [Method/process]This paper dissects the governance, business model and roadmaps adopted by arXiv's Sustainability Initiative in detail.[Result/conclusion]The arXiv Sustainability Initiative emphasizes funding from external sources, membership fees are based on an institutional ranking calculated according to the number of articles downloaded and financing method is transparent. Under the circumstances that Scientific Advisory Board and Member Advisory Board represent the interests of member institutions and investigation of the user needs, the suggestions of system development, upgrades and other aspects from the actual arewell worth learning and drawing upon. And the idea that arXiv begins to pay attention to the interoperability with other institutional repositories is also worthy of our considering in the operation of ChinaXiv.
