Request for outside observers
The following message was sent to a discussion group called 'Conference/Fellowships programmes' at the Research and Media Network.
Title: Conference support pages at the Research Cooperative
Visitors to this discussion group might like to observe and comment on a conference-related initiative at the Research Cooperative.
The Research Cooperative was established in 2001 and is an international, not-for-profit organisation (NPO). Our aim is to promote effective contact and working relationships among researchers, science writers, technical communicators, editors, translators, illustrators, publishers, and all others involved in original research-based communication.
We support offers and requests for help with writing and publishing in all languages, for all media, topics and countries, for academic and applied research, and for volunteer to fully-paid services.
We now have more than 800 members in more than 50 countries.
Within the context of this network, and with the encouragement of the congress organisers, it has been possible to develop a series of support pages for a major international congress on the prehistory of the Indo-Pacific region (see https://researchcooperative.org/group/ippa2009hanoi).
The new pages have been designed to support the preparation and publishing of papers for the 19th Congress of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association (Hanoi, 29th Nov. - 5th Dec. 2009), primarily by helping conference participants communicate more effectively with each other, and with the wider community of members of the Research Cooperative.
At this stage, we do not know if the new support pages will be successful. The convenors have only been told about the existence of the support pages two days ago. Everything depends on how many session convenors and participants join the Research Cooperative, and then use the system offered. It is a social experiment, and we will learn something from the effort, regardless of whether or not it succeeds in its main aims.
I invite members of the Research and Media Network to visit the Co-op site and observe what happens. Will this new model for conference support and academic interactions be effective. Will it become popular? Can other conferences use a similar approach, in collaboration with the Research Cooperative?
Best regards, Peter
