Appreciation for Marie O’Neill, IOAP Co-founder, from Dr Johanna Archbold, IOAP Director

I know a good few people couldn’t make our last team meeting in September with the time of year so I wanted to flag with everyone that Marie has stepped back from the the IOAP. We took the time at our last meeting to acknowledge her for all of her work in co-founding the IOAP with Jane Buggle, and thank for her all of her contributions. And of course also acknowledging all of her other Library/Open Publishing activities that support the Open Access and Diamond agenda nationally and internationally, and wishing her well in all of her future endeavours. I’m sure you will all join me in thanking Marie for everything she has done for the IOAP.
