Research Cooperative Review

A first announcement about this newsletter was made in our general project forum. The aims of the Review are strictly as follows:

1. UPDATE: To comment on various aspects of development of the Research Cooperative website and network, and the activities of our members.

2. REVIEW: To briefly introduce other online research networks as they appear and develop, with special attention to positive synergies (actual or potential) between our network and other networks. See our request for contributors here.

3. ANNOUNCEMENTS: To pass on non-urgent announcements of general interest to members of the Research Cooperative. These can be submitted in the message board below at any time, by any member of the Research Cooperative.

Such announcements should not relate to personal or commercial writing projects or research activities. They should be used to introduce public or NPO projects that concern research networks, research writing, science writing, editing, translation, illustrating, publishing, and research-related communication in general.

e.g. announcements for academic/research writing courses, new publishing initiatives, new communication projects within the Research Cooperative, and announcements about new research-related networks.

Word length is limited to 100 words per announcement, approximately. Each announcement should state the title, authorship, and contact details. Announcements will be edited if necessary.

The New Zealand kakapo is a rare and endangered parrot that communicates with other members of its species over long distances, using a deep booming call. We hope that our newsletter will also travel long distances, and save us from extinction
