Dear Authors,
I have three updates on our paper in press:
1. Based on the team-wide poll results, as well as the confirmation from Springer Nature that our Open Access fee (~11,000USD) can only be split between no more than three parties, the team has chosen to go with the “subscription” route, in which we are not going to use the Open Access option.
You can download the final License to Publish here:
2. For our upcoming press release, we plan to launch a video collage featuring the strength and value of our global forest inventory data. You are all invited to participate in this public-relations campaign.
Please upload videos about your forest inventory data, including (but not limited to): your crew members collecting data, interesting stories behind your data, and challenges or obstacles you have encountered.
Please limit each video to be no more than 2 minutes long.
You can upload your video here:
https://www.dropbox.com/request/F2FcvW9KIDvxsrmcLYDH
3. We are glad to launch Science-i on Strava! Please join us in running, cycling, swimming, skiing, etc. Let’s challenge each other, help each other, and have fun!
https://www.strava.com/clubs/science-i
Our first challenge is to accumulate 5,000km in running distance from July 2022 to July 2023. This challenge aims to increase the participation of underrepresented biodiversity scientists.
