Our University of Groningen Press colleagues were also at the #DigitalAutonomy Fair today.

At UGP, we work with Open Journal Systems by @PublicKnowledgeProject. We help academic staff take back control of the #academic #publishing infrastructure, for example by supporting them in setting up their own journal.

Lots of laughter, old friends, new faces: our annual symposium brought about 90 people from different career stages, disciplines and roles in the #academic system together. We discussed the differences between #quality assurance and policing #research practices, learned about galaxy and #nanopublications, and caught up with #reproducibility related projects.

To everyone who participated, contributed and joined us: Thank you for making this a lively and energetic event!
