Collaborative wiki - botanists needed
"P van Rijckevorsel" wrote in message ... P van Rijckevorsel writes However, what looks more worrisome is the "amateur scientists". This phrase could apply to an enormous amount of people of quite varying descriptions. PvR "Stewart Robert Hinsley" schreef The web site, what little it does say, does say that he wants resumes and sample writing, so presumably there is intended to be some quality control at the level of vetting applicants. *** Ah, the wonderful world of intent. There is a balance in such things. If you go by proven track record you can only pass senior scientists, who will not have much time to devote to such a project. You need people with time on their hands. In actual practice it may not be so easy to select people with both time and ability. Not to mention motivation. PvR Yes, and how exactly does this differ from a minor-league version of submitting papers to be published, but without the peer review? --riverman |
