Dear Sian,I have created a group for "Health and Medicine" inside the Research Cooperative. If you would like to look (and perhaps join), please visit here: Thanks, Peter

Dear Sian,I noticed that the proposed title of my presentation has not been added to our list on Research Co-op? Do you need me to send it again? You may also email my gmail account with your opinion as well :)Cheers,Damien

Dear Sian,Here is a group page for IPPA could set up an independent but linked group page for your session, and other sessions, if it seems useful.This would depend on each session organiser asking speakers to join the research Cooperative.We cannot create a fully featured listserv inside the Co-op, but members of a group can communicate with each other or the entire group through our site.However, the primary reason for speakers and session organisers to join the Co-op would be to solicit help from profiled editors, translators, and other conference participants.For detailed work on manuscripts, standard email with attachments works fine for most people, though systems like Google Documents and Google Groups can also be useful.It is possible to upload documents to the Research Cooperative - in our forums for example - and this could be useful when authors first start communicating with a possible editor or translator, and want to send part or all of a document as a starting point for discussion and negotiation.Cheers, Peter

Dear Sian,Thanks very much for joining. I am hoping to get a brochure about the Co-op published to distribute at IPPA19 in Hanoi.Many session organisers will be needing help with the preparation of papers after the conference, so it would also be good if we can recruit more members to the Co-op from relevant fields in the next few months.If it seems worthwhile, I could set up a temporary group for IPPA participants (and people interested in helping them) inside the Co-op site, just to provide another potential route for communication between people.Does this seem like a good idea to you?Best regards, Peter
