[Air-l] Share your reserach findings with others

[eolafsen at worldbank.org]

Dear colleague,

The Knowledge Economy site on the Development Gateway
http://www.developmentgateway.org/node/130667/ invites you to share your own
research papers with a wider international audience as well as access resources
pertaining to the knowledge based economy and its implications for developing
countries.

The Knowledge Economy site is managed in a partnership between the Development
Gateway, the World Bank Institute, the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development's Science and Technology Network and the Technology Empowerment
Network.  The Knowledge Economy topic members are from all over the world
-including countries like Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Norway, Uganda and Canda; they
are from various professional backgrounds including donor, academic and private
sector communities; and they share one common interest -namely to learn more
about the so called knowledge-based economy, information economy, Internet
economy, and related issues.

You can upload your paper directly to the site.  When you add your paper, it is
first reviewed for its appropriateness to the topic.  If approved, an e-mail
alert is automatically sent out to all the members that have signed up to
receive e-mail alerts.  Other members then have the possibility to comment on
the paper you submit.  This therefore constitutes a great opportunity not only
to disseminate your research findings, but also to get feedback on what your are
working on.

To add your research paper, you first have to register.  This simply involves
providing your e-mail address and your name (the e-mail address will not be made
available to the public unless you chose to do so).  You can also insert a
biography and contact information if you would like, and you can chose whether
or not you would like to appear in the member directory.  To register, please
click here: http://www.developmentgateway.org/register/   If you would like to
be displayed in the member directory, please make sure to click on "become a
member" displayed underneath the member directory heading.

As I mentioned, in addition to sharing your research with others, you may also
find valuable material for your research here.  To keep up-to-date on new
additions to the site, make sure to sign up to receive e-mail alerts when you
register.

So welcome to the Knowledge Economy community on the Development Gateway!

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions, concerns or
suggestions.

Best regards,
