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.
