thanksā€¦ definitely a ā€˜novelā€™ conference amidst the ā€˜population hysteriaā€™ out thereā€¦ btw, has china relaxed its one-child policy? genuinely curious as i have been hearing otherwise but have not checked yet due to time constraintā€¦

My contribution has been accepted at the conference for an oral presentation of 12 minutes. This is the first work that I submitted using only my IGDORE affiliation! :slight_smile: Meanwhile, I published a paper with the double affiliation IGDORE and SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) :slight_smile:

Congratulations Lucia! :tada: Can you post (or PM/email me) the details for your talk and paper when they are availible. Then I can add them to the newsletter and our site :slight_smile:

Hi Gavin!

Here you have the link to my article: Reconciling a positive ecological balance with human development: A quantitative assessment - ScienceDirect

The talk is based on this article and its title is: ā€œReconciling a positive ecological balance with human development: the role of population in low-fertility countriesā€

Let me know if you need something more.

PS I have a question: sometimes when you submit a work (article, conference contribution, projectā€¦) they ask not only the affiliation institute, but also the department. In that case, what can I write? IGDORE does not have departments :roll_eyes:

Thanks Lucia! The article is future dated which is probably why my google scholar alert hasnā€™t picked it up yet. I was interested to see that three countries in which I have lived (Australia, Sweden and Brazil) are all E+H+ :smiley:

Good question. I just leave this blank if it is optional. But if a webform makes it mandatory then itā€™s a problem. Do you have any suggestion @rebecca?

Weā€™ve used to say that people can write any location of their choice.

Yes, but my question was about department now.

Same would go for department, if department is a required field (usually they ask for it, but donā€™t have it as a required field).

I always put ā€œN.A.ā€ if itā€™s an obligatory field. Usually this does the trick, however you just need to make sure they donā€™t use the ā€œN.A.ā€ on the actual publication when reviewing the proofs.

I noticed that IGDORE researchers are gathered in two groups on the WEB side: Formal, Natural & Applied Sciences and Social Sciences. I think I will use that: Natural & Applied Sciences (I will omitted ā€œFormalā€ because itā€™s terrible!).

This is a good solution, I think we can recommend this to other affiliates as well. What do you think @rebecca?

Ohoh, what is so bad about the formal sciences??? (Iā€™m not complaining, Iā€™m just surprised you seem to genuinely not like that phrasing) We also have this as a forum category and itā€™s intended to broadly represent Maths, Statistics and similar fields like Computer Science. It doesnā€™t bother me, but I realize itā€™s also not a term in very regular usage. Do you think there is a better phrasing we could use for this?

Hi Gavin, my statement was very spontaneous, but thinking about it, it was maybe stupid. ā€œFormalā€ is fine, just it didnā€™t sound well to me, because Iā€™m not native speaker and I donā€™t catch language nuances or sometimes I catch wrong nuances! ā€œFormalā€ in my language can have a negative connotation, but itā€™s actually perfectly fine in this context.

So, I will write ā€œFormal & Natural Sciencesā€ and Iā€™ll omit ā€œappliedā€, just to make it shorter. Or maybe I will use all three adjectives. :slight_smile:
