An update to our TOS
We updated PubPub’s Terms of Service, effective January 30, 2020, to clarify the relationship between PubPub, third-party publishers, and users, and to further underscore our commitment to the highest standards of user privacy. You can read them here and direct any questions you have about them to [email protected].
Editor UI
We've pushed an update to the formatting bar within pubs. The update improves media, citation, footnote, and equation formatting, enhances keyboard accessibility, fixes a number of small UX/UI bugs, and increases typing performance for long docs.
On peer review
Last week, our head of content, Catherine Ahearn, participated in the January Rebus Community office hours on Re-thinking Peer Review for OER. You can watch a recording of this conversation here.
On a similar note, our head of partnerships, Heather Staines, is attending Researcher to Reader in London this month during which she will be running a workshop on peer review with Dr. Christine Tully, University of Findlay. If you plan to attend the conference please find her to say hello!
As a product of the Knowledge Futures Group, we're very excited about its new website. Learn more about how and why the KFG is building open tools in service of the public good—and how PubPub is a part of that mission.
