VPHA abstract to ALD 2016 Ireland - DL postponed to Feb 17

The Ireland ALD 2016 conference has postponed its abstract submission deadline by a week to February 21 (was: February 14). Consequently, we can also postpone the deadline of joining the VPHA abstract to ALD 2016 (Item #9 in the VPHA Publication Plan).



The abstract has currently 49 co-authors from 14 countries. With the postponed deadline, new people can join as co-authors until February 17, 2016. Condition for joining as a co-author is to leave at least one comment in the ALD-history-evolving-file (find link also through http://vph-ald.com/VPHAopenfiles.html) by the given deadline.

VPHA abstract to ALD 2016 Ireland - DL Feb 7

The webpage of ALD 2016 in Dublin, Ireland, July 24-27, http://ald2016.com/ has been updated and abstract submission is open.

From VPHA, there will be one abstract to ALD 2016 (Item #9 in the Publication Plan). The contents of the presentation will be a summary of the historical ALD papers and a recommended reading list, created together by the VPHA group, based on the contents of the ALD-history-evolving-file. All those will be listed as authors of the presentation, who have participated in the voluntary VPHA reading and left at least one comment in the ALD-history-evolving-file by the time of sending the abstract. We have at the moment 41 co-authors from 12 countries (Poland joined recently).

The deadline of ALD 2016 is February 14. The VPHA internal deadline should be somewhat earlier; let us make this one week. If you'd like to join the VPHA abstract as an author, please make your first comment in the ALD-history-evolving-file no later than on February 7, 2016. People can of course join the voluntary VPHA reading later than this, too, only then their name will not appear in the ALD 2016 abstract.

VPHA ALD 2016 preparation begins: more co-authors welcome

In VPHA, we are starting to prepare for the final scientific presentation: a presentation at the ALD 2016 conference in Ireland. This is Item #9 in the VPHA Publication Plan.

The first abstract draft has been sent to all VPHA co-authors - 39 at the moment -  to view and comment, and also to prospective co-authors (> 20). The figure below shows the current distribution per country of VPHA co-authors. At the moment, 347 publications are listed for reading in VPHA, and 367 comments on these have been written. In total, about 1000 comments should be written, so there is obviously still quite some work to do. More volunteers are welcome, and needed, to bring the work to a good end.

Distribution of the VPHA co-authors (total of 39) per country (total of 11), as of December 10, 2015.
