Submissions

Updates to the Open Science Network in Ethnobotany arrive by several routes.  We find some materials and create the links. Other people can tell us about links and we can add them to this site.
How to Submit Links to Existing Materials

The Open Science Network in Ethnobiology stores links to materials, not the materials themselves.  We create directories, links and descriptions to help you find and evaluate ethnobiology materials.  

We want to make this easy for you to share your materials through links on this site.  Here are a few suggestions on how you can add links to your materials. Please note that the following Resource submission document is a work in progress. 
  • Submit a document describing the materials you would like to be added to the OSN site.
  • Send us an email if you have any questions about the document or process. (kim.bridges@gmail.com or kbarfield@brit.org)
  • Arrange a Skype meeting.
We suggest that you contact us as soon as practical as we may have some time-saving suggestions.

Please be aware that this network has a specific mission and that our editors have the responsibility to maintain our stated focus and style.

Where Things Get Stored

The Open Science Network is not interested in storing things, whether they are syllabi, photos or videos. Given a choice, OSN stores links.

Keeping your materials where you have easy access helps you make sure that people are sharing your latest versions.

If you absolutely need someone else, or some place else, to store your "stuff," check out the following links.

How to Revise Things on this Site

We welcome all suggestions that will improve the content and accuracy of this site and the materials to which it links.

We can handle changes to this site in a straight-forward way.
  • A few small updates:  Send us an email.  We'll see if we can take it from there.
  • Lots of small updates:  Email us with the general situation.  Most likely we'll give you direct editing access.
  • Big stuff:  Email or call us on Skype.  We'll arrange something.
Making changes to the materials on the Web Links is a bit more difficult.  If you contact us, we'll try to help fix the external content.

Peer Review

The Open Science Network in Ethnobiology uses a process of peer review (i.e., other ethnobiology teachers) and solicits student evaluations.

Our goal is to review all submissions.  If the person responsible for the materials believes that there are problems with the review (e.g., the materials have been updated or the review has misinterpreted the intended audience), a follow-up review can be requested.
