Starting from this year, SCOS offers an opportunity to all delegates to be part of the Working Paper Nursery (WPN) led by Luigi Maria Sicca (University of Naples Federico II) and Ilaria Boncori (University of Essex). Ilaria is a board member of SCOS, and together with Luigi Maria and others, she will organize SCOS 2017. The aim of the WPN is to foster academic collaboration by offering collegial support and mentoring before, throughout, and after SCOS 2016, in order to facilitate publication in high quality journals and edited volumes; the nursery seeks to create international and multi-disciplinary synergies between authors and mentors who can collaborate on papers or academic chapters through the puntOorg online platform, where extended abstracts of approximately 500 words are made available (to ensure confidentiality). Attendance is voluntary, but if you’re interested do not hesitate to ask for more information and/or submit your abstract to wpn@puntoorg.net. You can read more about the WPN ethos, processes and guidelines, together with the abstracts of the papers currently in the WPN, here.
