Aloha Worm Folks!
I hope you are all having a great holiday season. Looking back at the
annelida archives (thank you Geoff) a rather large percentage of our
exchanges seem to be people looking for papers. I know that there are
disjointed projects underway for providing access to such papers, but
finding broken references is sometimes easier than finding the papers
themselves. It seems that polychaete folks need a place to share
documents so I just created polydocs for us
(http://www.wormguy.com/polydocs.html) as a place where you can post
papers and unpublished (but useful) reports and data. Dozens of people
download the Invertebrate Zoology dictionary from my site each month, so
I have hope that this can be a useful resource. I'm willing to provide
server space and my compilation/indexing time if you're willing to
provide useful documents. I plan to keep www.wormguy.com alive as long
as I am (anybody want it after that?) so I hope it will be around for a
few more years.
How to Contribute
All contributors are responsible for their own submissions and should
only submit documents they have a right to distribute freely. If any
publisher or other entity has exclusive distribution rights and requests
that a document be removed I will do so. Two categories will be
supported: peer-reviewed/published papers and unpublished (but
presumably useful) data. Unpublished data such as local references,
guides, workbooks, and useful but not publication-worthy data set
submission is encouraged. Email your human-readable submission as a .pdf
document (one at a time) to paavo from wormguy.com. Include a plain-text
message with the publication title and abstract. Data-only can be
submitted in a variety of database formats or spreadsheets ONLY if
sufficient meta-data is provided to interpret the data (collection
methods, locations, limitations, etc.). If the document list grows large
I will provide an Endnote library file for convenient searching. To
avoid dead-link maintenance, only documents actually stored on this
system will be listed.
Happy Holidays,
Brian Paavo
