ELIXIR described in a seminal publication (2021), its journey to demonstrate its public value to funders and other stakeholders, as a virtual and distributed research infrastructure for life science data. This was followed in 2023 by the release of three supporting resources:
- A Toolkit for ELIXIR country Nodes, bringing together training documents and materials, worked examples, factsheets, lists of indicators, key publications, case studies, and much more,
- An Annotated Bibliography, collating a wide range of published works (e.g. reports, academic publications, guidebooks and manuals, blogs) that are relevant to assessing the performance and impact of research infrastructures,
- A List of indicators, used to monitor ELIXIR’s performance and impact, and ultimately its public value as a research infrastructure.
