Meeting notes - what to publish
Our 2nd meeting was held yesterday at the South Kensington campus. During the meeting I took the chance to introduce some of the practical aspects of the discussion board website to all of us... (read more)
The contents of my presentation included:
* A practical demonstration of: using CiteULike; how to publish, edit and delete a post and comments.
* Achievable objectives Barriers: within the PhD research environment; within the development process
* Target audience
* What to post
* Measures of success
I cannot go over all the details here, and unfortunately the presentation format is ill-suited for it to be released as a file. However, most of the material is already available in the documentation available at the ESG ICL Support website. Over time, I intend to include most of the remaining relevant information in the documentation section.
In the meantime, below is an abstract from the presentation. It's an attempt at defining what would be 'appropriate' to publish on this discussion board. When consolidated, this will be a part of the 'editorial policy' of the discussion board.
Harmless
* Links to press articles
* Industry news, announcements
* Congress news, meetings, round-tables, events, etc.
* Research related open-ended questions
* Outlines of personal research work
* Outlines of research reviews
* Outlines of personal research results
Potentially risky
* Sources of confidential and/or restricted information (what about the piece of information?)
* Outlines of research work within own group?
* Outlines of half-way research progress (public domain – loss of originality)?
Definitely risky
* Breach of copyright
* Breach of posting guidelines
* Rubbish
Any comments and feedback on the above will be greatly appreciated.
