IO1 Publications Policy
Forums:
This forum is intended for members of the Quality and Editorial Board of UPPScience.
It is a platform of discussion to ensure that:
- we implement IO1 (technical) and
- we set up a quality infrastructure that will make UPPScience CoP platform a quality forum (Quality)
I will be in this forum only from a technical point of view and you will catch me citing the project proposal for your sins.
Situation to date:
Green means accomplished
Orange means progress (they will go green when finished)
Red means to be started up (they will go orange next)
BLOCK LETTERS mean action needed but we will deal with one thing at a time in this forum 
O1-A1 Establishment of Quality and Editorial Board
- Constituted during kick-off meeting.
- Made up of Peter Gray (NTNU), Rabia Vezne and Binnur Genç İlter (Akdeniz), Miguel Vidal (CIPFPM) and Valentina Berni (ValIda)
- Extra member who is a research student at IPP will join the board as from Interim Meeting because IPP has expertise in the field and because IPP will head the CoP dynamic observatory.

Action O1 A2
Specify format, Times Roman 12pt, APA referencing etc
3-5 keywords
Paper - max 3000 words
Introduction paragraph -d who are/relationship to stakeholders, then scientific background/literature, aim of study and methods (not compulsory), research question - related to stakeholders - findings and results, impact on stakeholders, dissemination/sustainability, references - but relatively small number and wide range of possible sources
Does the topic address a topic of interest to someone other than the researcher?
what is the target audience?
Does the work plan make sense? Is the method appropriate?
Data - where is it? What form is it in?
Is there a relationship between data, findings/results and the research question?
What is the impact produced by the study?
Language - should be understandable by the target audience, not too academic.

Agenda for Skype Meeting
1. Things that can be done between now and Barcelona meeting
- a strategy that answers the concerns in this article https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-one-learn-research-peer-review-antoin... This could be strategy for preparation and training, in form of quality charter as well as in preparation and tools for peer review.
We need some form of text or video that explains to the member of the CoP some form of quality policy.
We may need texts to help the person publishing a paper or reviewing a paper to look for the right elements.
What about a tool that allows a member publishing a paper to classify it as an opinion paper, a narrative, a reflection or the result of resarch.
2. Things that can be decided upon more in detail in Barcelona (there is a break out meeting for IO1 on the 15th morning)
The thing that comes to mind is the structure of the four training activities including a preparation before and a structure that helps participants possibly leave the training with a paper submitted for peer review...or with practical joint peer review using the tools on the platform.
The project proposal foresees technical training about how to use the platform and then skills building to research, writing to be read etc. as well as peer review.
