OpenScholar Transition

Overview

Harvard is transitioning away from the OpenScholar web platform, and all Harvard OpenScholar websites will need to move to a new platform by November 2025.  

Most Harvard OpenScholar sites can be automatically migrated to our new HarvardSites Drupal platform. The platform adheres to University standards on security and accessibility, offers modern, accessible design templates based on School and Unit brand guidelines, and comes with support and hosting from HUIT. 

HUIT will work with Schools and Units to review websites and begin automatic migrations in waves between March 2024 and August 2025. Schools and Units will also contact owners of websites that require additional planning due to unique requirements.
