1. Self-Introduction
You could, with our support, sketch a small (1-page on A4) introduction of who you are, what research you are doing, why you joined InterPore, what you would like to do there, what things you are looking for.
In case you wish to use this service, there is a list of simple steps:
- You can freely choose when to submit and schedule the text for publication.
- All you need to do is to send a 1-page raw-text draft, e.g., in DOC or DOCX format.
- Based on the draft, we will prepare the final layout in HTML.
- We will send you the final layout for proofreading and iteration.
A draft text format template will be provided to you by the Newsletter team (newsletter@interpore.org).
For examples of self-introduction text submitted by other institutional members in the past, please see:
2. Research Spotlights
If you wish to share your research with the InterPore community and other recipients of the Newsletter, you could generate (with our help) a so-called research spotlight. This format has a length of typically two pages in standard layout, with a maximum of 4 pages. It focuses on your research, telling the Society members for what kind of collaboration, expertise, etc. they could contact you.
In case you wish to use this service, please simply follow the same steps as for the introductory text (see above). A draft text format template will be provided to you by the NewsLetter team (newsletter@interpore.org). The associate editor responsible for Research Spotlights is Lynn Schreyer (lynn.schreyer@wsu.edu).
For examples of Research Spotlights submitted in the past, please see:
3. Exposure on the Website
You can give your institution a larger exposure to the Society members with a couple of smaller things that we offer:
(3a) We can display a suitable picture as header picture on our website. They get picked randomly from our header picture gallery each time the website is loaded or reloaded. See this link for a specification of picture formats, conditions of use, and format for the explaining text.
(3b) You can generate a “why we joined InterPore” statement, which is also displayed (picked randomly from a list of available statements) on our website. A specification of the text formats and some examples are provided here:
4. Announcements and News
At any time, you may send us workshop or conference announcements, job postings, community news or updates about your research, and we will publish it in the newsletter (which appears biweekly). Whenever you wish to use this service, simply send your material (in a raw format) to newsletter@interpore.org.
Job postings can be also put on our Jobs page. This service is available to InterPore members only. But, everyone can see the posted jobs.
You may also post research questions in the forum:
5. Discounted InterPore Journal Article Processing Charge
Institutional Members are entitled to a discounted Article Processing Charge on articles which they submit to InterPore Journal. More details on publication fees can be found here.
