We are delighted to announce some recent and upcoming developments at Dryad.ￜ

First, we recently launched a redesigned website at http://datadryad.org with lots of new content. Some of the highlights include:

• Information about the recently announced submission fees and pricing plans which will become effective Sept. 2013: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/pricing
• An Ideas Forum where you can let us know what features you’d like us to work on next, vote or comment on ideas submitted by others, and check back to see our responses: https://datadryad.uservoice.com
• An Integrated Journals page that helps depositors see which journals are coordinating the submission process with Dryad, figure out which stage in the publication process to submit data for your chosen journal, and more: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/integratedJournals

Second, all Dryad members, prospective members, and interested parties are invited to the first annual membership meeting in Oxford, UK on Friday, May 24. This is part of a series of exciting events in Oxford that week spotlighting trends in scholarly communication with an emphasis on research data, including a Symposium on the Now and Future of Data Publication on Wednesday, May 22nd, and an ORCID Outreach Meeting with a special joint Dryad-ORCID Symposium on Research Attribution on Thursday, May 23rd. Remote attendance will be available. ￜￜFor more information, please see: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/membershipMeeting
