Toward more transparent and reproducible omics studies through a common metadata checklist and data publications Ghent University
Biological processes are fundamentally driven by complex interactions between biomolecules. Integrated high-throughput omics studies enable multifaceted views of cells, organisms, or their communities.

These ...
(Ultra)minor comics? Opening up the history of (Post-)Yugoslav and Bulgarian comics to outsiders Ghent University
The last decade saw the publication of more and more monographs (partially) devoted to the history of comics (and/or graphic novels) in smaller or larger geographical/cultural areas around our globe.

All click and no play : how interactive are interactive digital comics? Ghent University
This contribution investigates a specific subcategory of digital comics -- part of what I call 'expanded digital comics' - considered by many to be inherently more interactive than prototypical comics, and often related to video games. However, whether they are indeed more interactive, and what it means for a comic to be interactive at all, is an open question. Trough a reframing of the concept of interactivity as one of the possible subtypes of ...
