@CanalRiverTrust very poor show not following up today at noon with promised update on Sprotborough lock closure. (Or is it the Aldwarke lock indicated by your map in the original notice?)

[Hannah Hope @hjhope]

.@wellcometrust is now using https://t.co/os2uQT8USo to help implement their OApolicy! Wellcome has been a leader in adopting, measuring, and enforcing OApolicies for many years. We’re proud to be working with them to make this easier. Find out more: https://t.co/MMqRpGgYlx

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions.

By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. https://t.co/OAsiOVFStI
