It's _really_ important to follow hashtags (as in click the button!) you're interested in here on Mastodon! You'll see posts from people you don't follow using that hashtag. I'm definitely going to make sure I'm now following the hashtags for:

Loving this transparency from UCL Press in regards to their published books.

* 266 books so far
* 6.6 million views
* over 37,000 print copies sold, despite the full book being OA online (crude mean calc: 139 sales per OA book?)

Fascinating.
