[GOAL] What happened at the OSC at Cambridge in 2017?

<Apologies for cross posting>

Happy Australia Day(!)*. On this most auspicious of days, take a moment to catch up  with the activities of the Office of Scholarly Communication at Cambridge University. It has been another big year and this is summarised in the blog post: "2017 - That was the year that was” https://unlockingresearch-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1854

A taster:


The fact that we are sending this out in the fourth week of January reflects how busy 2018 is already shaping up to be. But it is important to take stock and reflect on the achievements of the past year.

In many ways 2017 was a year of numbers for the Office of Scholarly Communication. Some of them were large – we celebrated 1000 datasets deposited to the repository and 1 million downloads of items in the repository in 2017. Other numbers were enormous, like the overwhelming tide of people who tried to access Professor Stephen Hawking’s PhD thesis<https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/251038> when we released it, and the very impressive Almetrics score of over 1500<https://www.altmetric.com/details.php?domain=www.repository.cam.ac.uk&citation_id=25154696> for his thesis because the release “broke the internet”. There were some small but significant numbers too, including farewelling a few integral members of staff.

Enjoy!
