Precision, documentation, and just a little bit of swagger. 😎

Ain’t no party like a Data Stewards party, 'cause a Data Stewards party don’t lose track of metadata! 🕺📁✨

Here’s to the unsung heroes who keep our data clean, our projects reproducible, and our research future-proof. Because without metadata, it’s just a mess in a spreadsheet!

Join the Open Access Books Network (OABN) and the Open Institutional Publishing Association (OIPA) on 20 March. Featuring a panel of experts, and with plenty of time for questions, it's completely FREE!
