I’ve recently returned from the Beyond the PDF2 unconference in Amsterdam and I’m really excited about the enthusiastic response we received to the proposals for new data review guidelines, which I presented on behalf of a project we have been co-organising with Geraldine Stoneham-Clement, Elizabeth Newbold and Jonathan Tedds.
