The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) is a research and development initiative that is also a Core Facility of Simon Fraser University. We develop community-driven free and open software, as well as conduct research, to improve the quality and reach of non-commercial scholarly publishing for the global public good.

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.

On my way to the Crossref event in Bangkok. The air quality may be declining rapidly and it may be a little too hot (even at 7am) for the average oversized North European like me, but I'm really looking forward to spending the day with the Thai librarians and @crossref colleagues on behalf of @PublicKnowledgeProject
