Questions for the ALD History Review

Thank you for those who gave questions for the ALD History Review (#10 in http://vph-ald.com/Publication%20Plan.html) by the deadline given, Jan 10: Henrik Pedersen, Ruud Van Ommen, Oksana Yurkevich, and Anatoly Malygin (and myself of course, too). I will somehow organize and promote discussion on these questions in the days/weeks to come - I will come back to this.

In the meantime, collecting questions and other proposals for the contents of the ALD History Review remains open, you find the link through http://vph-ald.com/VPHAopenfiles.html (ALD-history-review-questions). I appreciate if many more will share their thoughts and questions here. Those who already gave questions, can of course add more items. Please do not touch the questions given by Jan 10, but add new items under the title “Questions and other proposals for content after January 10, 2016”.

Editing the Google file is easy, and everyone can add items with the “comment” function. Still, if you find this difficult, you can also email me your questions/other proposals.

VPHA reading, first priority: publications with no comments yet

Recently, I made separate lists of VPHA publications with 0, 1, 2, 3, and >3 comments. You can find these lists in the ALD History Blog:

The first priority for the next weeks is to get preferably all items away from the list of articles without any comments - there were 90 listed in http://aldhistory.blogspot.fi/2016/01/historical-ald-articles-with-no-comments.html. When you look at the list, you see that most these articles are in Russian, so we definitely need help of the Russian-speaking colleagues for this task. There are also publications in Finnish, which I need to take care of with other Finnish-speaking colleagues, and also German for Jonas and others, and one Bulgarian publication.

Statistics on how many publications have 0-1-2-3-3+ comments were shared here: http://aldhistory.blogspot.fi/2016/01/new-type-of-statistics-for-VPHA-reading.html. Hopefully, the next time I make the plot, the column for 0 comments will be much lower.  

How to navigate in massive VPHA files

ALD-history-evolving-file has at the moment 177 pages, and one can easily get lost there. Luckily, using the Search tool available in every browser, used with the unique VPHA publication codes, help one to navigate quickly.
