Literature research
Updated: 26th June 2020.
Our project requires the integration of literature across many disciplines.
One way to do this efficiently may be to make the process of literature research public, using the topic focus forums of the Research Cooperative.
Here is my first example. I will add others as time permits:
TOPIC: Gesonula, the taro grasshopper
TOPIC: International Society for Tropical Root Crops (ISTRC ). After many years of limited availability, all the past conference volumes are now available for free, online, at the Society website. This a great trove of work on many root crops, including taro.
