few other things, please keep us informed of your publications/research
activities and we’ll do the same. With regard to publications,
we do not accept entire CVs that we have to cut, paste and edit. Also
our policy is that we don’t want to tempt fate by announcing forthcoming
publications – we all know what sometimes happens!! On the other
hand, we are happy to announce conferences in advance, given that
there is nothing worse than a poorly attended conference.
Best wishes,
Karl & Stefan
