On behalf of the CHOR Board of Directors, we’d like to thank you for attending the CHORUS Reception at the 2018 STM Frankfurt Conference on October 9, 2018. It was great to see some new faces and to catch up with familiar ones.

The event was an opportunity for us to update you on our activities and share some of our 2018 highlights:

• Signing new participation agreements with three funding agencies – USAID, NIST, and USDA.
• Breaking a milestone of over half-a-million publisher member articles tracked by CHORUS.
• Linking to datasets related to published research on publisher member dashboards.

It was also a chance to engage in some spirited discussion on the potential impacts of Plan S, and to get your feedback on CHORUS’ new institutional dashboard product. We thank you for the open dialogue; CHORUS is truly a community effort and we thank you for your support.

Howard Ratner, Executive Director
