The coming months promise to be busy for our team, who will be participating in several key events in the research and scholarly publishing community.
Conferences, symposia, and seminars: these events offer opportunities to meet the people who drive research and scholarly publishing. By participating in these discussions, we continue to fulfill our core mission: to support Canadian scholarly and cultural journals, promote open access to knowledge, and advance open science.
We look forward to seeing you at these events!
