New From Dryad

• Earlier this month, we celebrated Open Access Week and explored the theme of “The Cost of Knowledge.” That also meant thinking about the infrastructure that makes Open possible, and how we keep it alive. For Dryad, the path to sustainability has demanded in-depth community engagement and research, creative thinking, and a whole new approach to funding.

• Our Annual Report highlights changes in Dryad’s focus and strategy as we turn out attention to enhanced author service and robust partnerships with publishers and institutions — and see an increase in data deposits as a result

• Dryad gives CRediT where credit is due. Beginning this September, Dryad adopted a subset of CRediT to better define author contributions to the datasets we publish.

• Dryad data author Pradip Bera of University of Wisconsin-Madison shares strategies for meaningful, reusable data publications.
