Announcements Opinion Share Post As the year is coming to a close, it’s time to reflect on the achievements, the lessons learned, and the new goals that we set for ourselves. This year saw a virus sweep across the globe forcing us to rethink the way we work, the way we interact with one another and what our priorities should be as we head into another year of the “new normal” of working and collaborating. At Hindawi, we have always been a firm believer of the notion that science works best when research is open and that by placing the researcher at the heart of every decision we make, we will better serve the research communities we support. We always believe that looking beyond current technology and publishing silos and working collaboratively with other publishers will bring about beneficial changes for everyone involved – researchers, publishers, funders and the wider public.
