Today the JISC has launched a year-long campaign called ‘Research 3.0 – driving the knowledge economy’ 
, to debate how digital technologies are changing not only what research we do, but how it can be carried out. The UKOLN ‘Open Science at Web-Scale Report’ is a cornerstone of this campaign. In addition, the Times Higher has published a supplement: ‘The Data Revolution’ which highlights how JISC is supporting universities and the Research Councils to advance in the ever-changing technology landscape, and includes quotes from Dr Liz Lyon, Director, UKOLN.
