Fundamentally: for better, reproducible science, with a complete accounting of your research; but for many o...

Bibliographies in forum posts (and on the web)

https://bibbase.userecho.com/s/attachments/8295/1/0/15.png BibBase renders a supplied BibTex file to an interactive HTML page, see here for example . Our original aim here was to use Bibbase for embedded HTML bibs, from a standard .bib file. However, I can't seem to get this to render in posts in a...

Scope and privacy; the quasi-private members zone

The aim at AMO Open Science is for exactly that, consequently almost everything on the boards is fully open to non-members. The notable exception is the Events, links, videos and such (members only) forum, which does exactly that, and is only accessible to registered board members. Use this for anyt...

Anyone is welcome, and encouraged, to make use of it for project work, announcements, chat and whatever...

Attachments, archival use & content

In general, the aim here is for all content to be archival - i.e. online, searchable and useful in the future. However, site storage and bandwidth is limited, so to ensure archival content beyond basic text please use a suitable repository for shared content (code, files, datasets etc.), and link to...

Re: Why forums, and some history.

For some more comments on general physics forums, see What are the best physics forums on Quora .

We've all been through it - peer group communications, larger group communications, collaborator communications... whatever you do, it always seems to get messy and repetitious at some point! Speaking for myself, I realised we have been missing a general, but open, forum for the local group plus lar...
