A big thank you to everyone who we have worked with and for in 2024 -- we've had a great year and are looking forward to the next one! In the meantime, we wish you all a restful and peaceful holiday. See you in January!

You probably won't be surprised that #researchintegrity was the most talked-about topic at the recent STM Innovation Day. Our Phill Jones was there and has shared his thoughts in this post on The Scholarly Kitchen. https://lnkd.in/eqU4Xjbv
