Request

Request received: 19 April 2022

Please refer to the following news item, a helpful briefing note, published by UKRI:

https://www.ukri.org/news/ukri-update-on-researchfish/

There is an aspect of this matter which is not covered therein, namely how it came about that your organisation decided to link up with Researchfish and Interfolio.

I should be grateful if you would supply me history of this relationship starting with the original genesis of the arrangement - presumably a thread of internal emails and notes of discussions - and continuing to the present time or at least up to the time the relationship became the subject of public comment/controversy.
