OJS Mexico Community Meets and Learns in Puebla

By Kevin Stranack

Here at PKP, we are thrilled to learn about the activities of the OJS community around the world and are always on the look out for news about local user groups. If you are part of a local OJS user group, please let us know about your work and how we can help! The following report was provided by our friend and PKP School alumnus Pedro López Casique at eScire, Mexico.

On September 10th & 11th Entre Pares 2018 (Between Peers) was held in Puebla City, Mexico, at the Complejo Cultural Universitario (Academic Cultural Complex) at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla).

The main objective of the Seminar Entre Pares was to generate a culture of scientific communication promoting the production of research articles between the academic and graduate community at the national level, recognize the advances in the area of science production and disseminate the information resources offered by CONRICYT, and to create a meeting space with the main international publishers.
