[Open-science-nl] [open-science] Fwd: Science Source proposal

Sun Feb 18 15:43:01 UTC 2018

Gareth,
Thanks for following up - I will contact you offlist.
Our community gave a short presentation/workshop at Eurodoc some years ago.
I wasn't there and I will try to recall exactly who did it (unless they
