2 June 2010 From the Editor’s Desk In the March issue of World Aquaculture I asked members to respond to a survey about your position on moving to online publication. The response has been – how should I put it? – abysmal. The problem was, I hope, associated with following the instructions on getting to the survey on the website that was provided. As a result, the survey will remain up until August 1, 2010. The Publications Committee will be discussing various issues surrounding WAS publications and will certainly be interested in the results of the survey, but unless we get a good response to the survey, there will be very little guidance provided. So, here are the step-by-step instructions on how to get to the survey: 1. Log on to http://texas-sea-grant.tamu.edu/About/ Stickney.html 2. In the third paragraph on the page, click on the highlighted link “World Aquaculture, the magazine of the World Aquaculture Society.” 3. That will open the survey. Here are the questions in the survey should you like to email, fax, or send a response to the survey through the mail. 1. Do you support the idea of changing to online publication of World Aquaculture? Yes No 2. If given the option, which would you prefer to receive? Online Print 3. How many issues of World Aquaculture would you like to see each year? Four Six Other If you selected “Other,” please provide the number of issues you would like to see annually. 4. Should at least one author of each article published in World Aquaculture be a member of the World Aquaculture Society? Yes No, anyone with pertinent information should be encouraged to submit No, but non-members would receive a PDF of their article, not a copy of the entire issue in which their article appears. 5. Are there particular aquaculture topics that you would like to seem more articles about in World Aquaculture? Send your responses as follows: Email: stickney@tamu.edu Fax: +1-979-845-7525 Regular mail: Robert R. Stickney P.O.
