BACKGROUND |
At the Fall 2005 IMC Meeting tt was decided to set up a Publications Workshop (timeframe April 06, location RTA Paris) in order to elicit best practices and as such ensure that RTO publishing policies were in line with such practices. This is in follow up to the recent Publishing Survey carried out by the RTA. To this end, a sub-committee has been set up consisting of the following IMC members: Eve-Marie Beaudoin, Paul Ryan, Chrissie McCracken, Jette Schmidt, Phil Reed The sub-committee will decide upon the key topics that should be discussed and identify key experts in the various publishing arenas, for example standards organisations (eg the USA National Information Standards Organisation who have recently performed a study pertaining to best practices in Technical Report writing), government science and academia and scientific publishers. It was decided that the RTA (Jette, Phil) look for suitable RTO Authors whilst the IMC members investigate the various experts that could participate.
