early journals

[Adam Blatner]

So Here's my plan. My mission is to promote the dissemination of information in the 
field---aka "scholarship"-- which in turn has a number of sub-tasks:
       1. Encouraging writing up papers. Many people are giving workshops. Many students 
are taking notes.

In our era of financial "tight-ness," I wonder if there are not students who might barter 
for training. I wonder about
     a. amanuensis services: For notes to be written up well enough to be published on a 
website, x hours of training.
             That way the director doesn't have to write it up. We have many excellent 
trainers and practitioners who are leading workshops that have significant anecdotes, 
technique modifications, theoretical rationales, and elucidation of underlying issues. 
These can be presented either apart from any descriptions of protagonists or their dramas 
(for confidentiality); or by significantly disguising the protagonists by changing gender, 
age, occupation and possibly by conflating stories from two or more different clients or 
protagonists. Clinicians do this fairly often, thus protecting confidentiality.

       2. Encouraging translating papers from other languages into English
                    or from English into other languages. Again, this equals certain 
amount of training.

(In the past, I hesitated to suggest this as trainers really needed the money, not the 
services. However, in the current situation, possibly the choice is between not coming to 
a workshop or training at all versus coming but paying by barter.)

3. Scanning on articles either with .pdf   full article scan-on; or with optical 
recognition into text. But digitizing articles or chapters. Then posting --- especially 
regarding stuff that's past copyright--- over 40 years old, or ASGPP journal articles, 
etc.
             This again takes time, some skill, someone to do it: Might students do this 
if they received training in barter?
    What do you think?

 Warmly, Adam
