Project Director Derek Johnson speaking at the DFM Cambodia Scoping Workshop, Phnom Penh 2020-03-03.

The Dried Fish Matters Knowledge Wiki is an open platform for the creation and sharing of knowledge about dried fish in South and South-East Asia. It is part of the research initiative "Dried Fish Matters: Mapping the social economy of dried fish in South and Southeast Asia for enhanced wellbeing and nutrition", funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

See the design specifications for the data management info hub outlined in the DFM project proposal and discussed in subsequent Working Group meetings. Information on contributing is provided at the bottom of this page.

Writing and publications

  • All DFM reports and publications -- including newsletters and Working Papers -- are currently stored in the Dried Fish Matters Zotero user library. (Note this is a private library, distinct from the DFM group library that is accessible to everyone in the project.)
  • A bibliography of project publications is generated automatically each day and uploaded to driedfishmatters.org/publications.html.
  • Raw data from the project will be archived in the Dataverse repository at the University of Manitoba.
  • Working papers, reference documents, etc. are available here on the wiki for internal discussion and, where appropriate, contributions from people outside the project. The wiki is accessible on the web but not "public" in the sense that it is not indexed by search engines.
  • Our public-facing website (driedfishmatters.org) is managed by the DFM project team and includes summary information about the project, including newsletters, for a wide audience.
