Research Cooperative Review (Issue 2, 1st June 2009)
Greetings to all members.
1. We continue to evolve:
The pages for discussions in different languages can now be found in the 'Groups' menu in a link called 'Find your own language'.
2. A new optional profile question has been added:
"What are your favourite local and international research-related journals, newsletters, or 'popular' magazines?"
To answer this question or change other information on your existing profile page, please 'Sign in' at the Research Cooperative, then click on the link for 'Settings', at upper right, under your name.
3. New forums for technical communication:
Researchers often depend on technical communication for learning how to use equipment, laboratory kits, software, and so on - and also for learning about all the gear we use for writing and publishing.
At the Research Cooperative, we now have forums for technical communication (offers and requests). Please have a look.
4. A technical reading suggestion:
Some members may also like to see a newly published technical book on using and building social networks with Ning, the networking system we are using for the Research Cooperative. This a very good example of technical communication. See:
Manny Hernandez (2009) Ning for Dummies. Wiley Publishing: New Jersey, 342 pp.
5. The state of play:
We now have more than 750 members. Our member diversity and geographical range continue to increase, but we still need much more depth, in every subject area. We expect this to appear, gradually but surely.
Thanks, and good luck with all your communications for the next month...
Peter Matthews, for the Research Cooperative
