I support this motion and happy to put my name forward to be on editorial
team. RICS - not to be confused with the Royal Institute of Chartered
Surveyors!

> Hello all,
>
> Full of inspiration after the UWE gathering, I've been having a word with
> our university research office and the possibility is present to establish
> a formal, peer-reviewed, online journal e.g. "Research in Cycling and
> Society".
>
> The first question is whether there would be sufficient support for me to
> go ahead with this .
>
> It would be hosted by University of Chester but have a web portal of its
> own.
> The possibility exists there for any other institution or department to be
> listed as a supporter if willing to provide a nominal sum to help
> establish the nec. seed capital and finance for copy editing.
>
> Volunteers would also be needed to be part of the editorial team.
> I'd be happy to co-ordinate.
>
> This would provide us with an initial voice and outlet for our various
> bits of research that we are engaged with and an ongoing means of
> publication for those necessary bits of work that don't seem to always
> find a home in other journals, and for the publication of developed
> conference papers.
>
> What do people think?
