Dear colleagues of the Research_Practice group
JRP urgently needs to generate submissions for the coming issues.
There are many things we all can do to help with this: mouth-to-mouth propaganda among colleagues, encouraging students and collaborators to prepare papers for JRP and give them support in doing so, distributing flyers in meetings and conferences, posting "calls for papers" in mailing lists and discussion groups to which you belong, and so on.
However, given that the Research_Practice group currently unites some 300 people interested in JRP, I suggest that more group members ought to consider publishing in JRP. After all, you have demonstrated your interest in JRP; you have followed the development of the journal and surely been able to convince yourself of its quality and appeal; and you may also have noted that the journal editors do an outstanding job of providing editorial support to the authors.
So, why shouldn't you try and see what you can actively contribute to JRP?
As a tool for helping all of us in formulating ideas and generating submissions, I have created a database -- a simple table, that is -- in which we can record everyone's current ideas for possible contributions. Please enter your suggestions, regardless of whether you plan to write the paper yourself, would like to suggest a third author (who may not be aware of JRP thus far) to be invited to write the paper, or are looking for potential co-authors with whom to work out a paper.
You can access the database through the web site of the Research_Practice group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Research_Practice/ , by clicking on "Database" in the left-hand menu, or directly by going to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Research_Practice/database .
Let's give it a try -- perhaps the tool may help us in generating ideas and new cooperation among group members and beyond.
Thank you for your interest in our journal.
Best wishes and kind regards
Werner Ulrich
(Associate Editor, JRP)
