Giga-Curation Challenge
GigaScience is
hosting a competition to encourage the uptake of both
Hypothes.is and
iCLiKVAL community
annotation resources.
Join the challenge to seed two open community curation tools with
useful annotations. It’s free to take part, and with a top prize of
a brand new Apple iPad mini4 for the top curator, why wouldn’t you?
