Dear HIFA colleagues,

Further to my previous message on 2 September, I can report that we now have 5 members on the working group. We shall be meeting online on 17 September to prepare the upcoming thematic discussion on HIFA, including questions for us to explore.

We can accommodate up to 2 more people on the group. If you have an interest in open access publishing and would like to join, please let me know with your CV or description of experience by Monday morning 15 September.

With thanks, Neil
