We are delighted to announce some
recent and upcoming developments at Dryad.
First, we recently launched a redesigned website at http://datadryad.org with lots of new content. Some of the highlights include:
- Information about the
recently announced submission fees and pricing plans which
will become effective Sept. 2013: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/pricing
- An Ideas Forum where you
can let us know what features you’d like us to work on next,
vote or comment on ideas submitted by others, and check back
to see our responses: https://datadryad.uservoice.com
- An Integrated Journals page
that helps depositors see which journals are coordinating
the submission process with Dryad, figure out which stage in
the publication process to submit data for your chosen
journal, and more: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/integratedJournals
Second, all Dryad members, prospective members, and
interested parties are invited to the first annual membership
meeting in Oxford, UK on Friday, May 24. This is part of a series of exciting events in Oxford
that week spotlighting trends in scholarly communication with an
emphasis on research data, including a Symposium on the Now and
Future of Data Publication on Wednesday, May 22nd, and an ORCID
Outreach Meeting with a special joint Dryad-ORCID Symposium on
Research Attribution on Thursday, May 23rd. Remote attendance
will be available. For more information, please see: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/membershipMeeting
As you may be aware, Dryad is a
nonprofit organization. Membership is open to a diverse range
of stakeholder organizations, including but not limited to
journals, scientific societies, publishers, research
institutions, libraries, and funding organizations. To learn

If you work with a journal, society,
publisher, library, funder or other research organization and

the data publishing needs of your researchers, and how you can
