[Nprc-editors] Important information about the NPRC meeting at SfN, and some feedback requested!

[Helena Ledmyr]

Dear NPRC editors-in-chief and publishers,

This email contains the following:

   1. information about the annual NPRC meeting at SfN in DC
   2. a request for suggested journals to approach about NPRC membership
   3. boilerplate text to inform editors and reviewers about NPRC
   4. link to NPRC advertisements to use on your websites


1. As previously announced, the annual NPRC meeting will take place on
Monday, November 13 between 11am-noon in the Renaissance Washington hotel  (999
9th St, NW) in meeting rooms:  12,13,14. We are as always grateful to SfN
for providing us with this venue. If you can't attend yourself, please try
to send someone else from your journal or publisher. If you can not attend,
I'd appreciate if you beforehand could send me numbers for manuscripts
sent/received through NPRC this year.

2. Please email me with your suggestions for non-member journals that you
think would be useful to have in the consortium and for you to be able to
send on manuscripts/reviews to.  I will then reach out to the journals with
information about the consortium. I have attached a list with current
member journals - we just recently reached 60 journals!

3. The best way to spread the word about the NPRC, and attract appropriate
manuscripts to use the NPRC, is for each EiC to send out a letter with
their own signature to their community (reviewers & authors).  I have
attached a boilerplate text for your convenience, please use this when you
inform manuscript submitters and reviewers about the possibilities of using
the NPRC cascade mechanism. Since many of you have assumed the role of EiC
long after your journal joined NPRC, I have attached the agreement that
journals sign with NPRC, for your information.

4. I have made a public folder containing web-ads in different sizes and
formats for you to use on your journal/publisher websites to promote the
consortium. Please let me know if there is anything else i can provide you
with for promotional purposes. The folder is available here:

I very much appreciate your feedback on the points above, and look forward
to seeing you at SfN in two weeks!

All the best
Helena
