Dr Matthew Addicoat wins the Digital Discovery data reviewer draw!

We’re excited to announce that Dr Matthew Addicoat of Nottingham Trent University has won the first exclusive Digital Discovery mug in our data reviewer prize draw!

Dr Addicoat has this to say about open data: “Data is important for so many reasons: For me the most obvious reasons are that sharing data allows faster progression by reuse of data and broadening collaboration. It also allows for errors to be found and fixed, which is increasingly important as science increasingly turns to data-driven.”

Thanks to Dr Addicoat and all our other data reviewers for their support! Find out more about becoming a data reviewer in our earlier blog post.
