Interested in sharing your work with Octopus? Join us for tomorrow's webinar, where we'll talk through all the new features we've been adding to Octopus to make it easier to create publications: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/f6985a...

Want to help policy makers in research backed decision making? New Areas of Research Interest have just been published on Octopus for 4 governmental organisations. Visit www.octopus.ac/search/publi... to take a look, and write a hypothesis attached to one register your interest and get involved!

As part of our work to make publishing on Octopus.ac easier for researchers in all disciplines, we've added support for formulae! To try it out, use double dollar signs to add a $$KaTeX Expression$$ to your publication. Visit katex.org/docs/support... to learn more.

Want to help make sharing research quicker and easier? We're spending the next few weeks working to enhance our publishing process, driven by feedback from our users. If you'd like to help, hop onto Octopus.ac and get started with a publication, then let us know your thoughts!
