Just when you thought in-person conference cancellations were a thing of the past, TextRelease changed the 24th International Conference on Grey Literature-scheduled for Dec. 5-6, 2022, with the theme of Publishing Grey Literature in the Digital Century-to an entirely virtual event. In 2021, the 23rd conference, originally scheduled for Amsterdam, had to be virtual-only because of suddenly imposed health-related government mandates. This year, the in-person event, originally planned to be held on the campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, was canceled due to a worrying rise in COVID cases and construction at NIH, according to Dominic Farace, founder of GreyNet International and director of TextRelease. As with the previous year, conference sessions and poster presentations were prerecorded and made available on the TIB AV-Portal, an OA platform operated by the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology (TIB) where science videos such as conference recordings, simulations, animations, lectures, and visualized research data can be published and viewed for free.
