This might be something we could try to address in the Outlook section.

when did ECO said this? I couldn't find the exact post...

(off-topic), robs, check your Linkedin.

At some point we are going to duplicate Biostar...I haven't thought about how to deal with that, but I think for now it's not "reported post" worthy...?

This might be something we could try to address in the Outlook section.

Perhaps this can be addressed as best as possible by looking at

1. the total number of registered forum members
against
2. the number of readers by way of Google Analytics info.

I have noticed that most times when I log on to the forum, there are many more unregistered/unlogged in readers than members participating during that time. I've always wondered why and if there are really that many "unofficial" readers of the forum. But it would be good to show the numbers which can suggest that useful information posted is being re-read by many, many others. This could support even more thoughtful and complete questions and posts.

Take a look at what Rob did now. I like the new Figure 1.

[Joann]

I think we should frame Figure 1 as a summary of the community. The community is made of (A) authors who contribute posts and threads and (B) readers who benefit from the contributions.

We can comment that we are not confident whether the contributor breakdown mirrors the readership breakdown.

Google docs only allows a maximum height/width of 1600px. I can send you higher resolution figures when needed.

We do not need final figures until the manuscript is accepted.

I am not sure if we can relate both. Figure 1 shows the activity of forum members (as in contributing to the forum with posts), but figure 3 shows the number of visitors from Google Analytics (which might only be visiting, but not posting).

Then Figure 2 works for showing how fast problems are solved; and this relates to the board enabling fast timescales of innovation.

Do you think we can do this? Stylistically I think it works better than having a small and out of place Figure 3. And for a compact correspondence it looks better and will be easier to follow I think.

Let me know if you are okay with this.

I like Figure 3 a lot but it is very small and seems to relate to Figure 1. Is there are way we can make it part of Figure 1 and have an (A) and a (B). This will be a better use of space and I think will look better. For example, we could stack them, Figure 1 on top and Figure 3 right underneath and enlarged to be the width of the plot in Figure 1.

When we submit the paper, we can use the current resolution figures embedded in the document. If the manuscript is accepted, then we need to upload high-res images (1200dpi). I am going to split the figures from their legends. All legends should be on a separate page...

Rob/Marco, are you guys okay with this?

We should make the link to the gdoc accessible for everyone. Why not post it here?

robs, need your attention, please see the google doc. (comment)

[adaptivegenome]

I was trying to find time to add in my edits but it will probably be a couple more days. However I do not want to hold back Marco and Rob and others, so here is the link:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PSuq6IIYXwDOCJYn7CWjH4EG-1QT5PWFCf6BQWsyZqE/edit

The document is at least now formatted in such a way that we can export and submit directly to the journal. I put the authors that were in the wiki but people should add themselves if I missed someone. Also feel free to change the order.

I shorten the abstract because we only get 200 words (so far it is 144). The remainder of the abstract text was moved to the body not because it flows well but because I did not want to delete it.

Rob should add in the two figures he made. They are great. And we should put in figure legends. People can list references as PUBMED IDs or if they want full text citations. It does not matter though because I will convert it all to endnote before we submit.

With a little bit of formatting and editing, I think we can put this all together next week... I will post my changes by Monday.

[adaptivegenome]

Yes. I will do this.

[robs]

Send me a PM and I will send you a link today as soon as I finish it.
