Why authors are published under a single ‘community member’ identity
All contributors (authors) to the i2Insights blog toolkit are listed as “Community member”. As well as reflecting the i2Insights aim of building a community of researchers, students and practitioners actively involved in advancing one or more aspects of research integration and implementation, a single identity streamlines the administrative management of i2Insights.
Getting notified about new blog posts
You can receive an e-mail whenever a new blog post is published:
- If you already have a WordPress.com account, then enter the email address for that account into the “Get notifications about new posts” box in the right-hand sidebar (found on any page on this site) and WordPress will add this blog into your WordPress.com reader for new post notification purposes (for more, see: https://wordpress.com/support/notifications/).
- If you don’t have a WordPress.com account, entering your e-mail address into the “Get notifications about new posts” box in the right-hand sidebar will (since July 2024) result in WordPress asking you to accept the creation of a WordPress.com account (which requires no further immediate input than accepting the step).
- If you wish to avoid WordPress creating such an account, please email us at i2s@anu.edu.au and we will enter your email address into the system. This currently (September 2024) avoids WordPress account creation and allows your subscription to be managed via email alone (through https://wordpress.com/email-subscriptions/).
Why we ask authors to minimise web-links and how we handle broken links
Because of resource limitations, we ask authors to minimise the use of links in their contributions. The nature of i2Insights means that posts maintain their currency and continue to provide useful resources over a long period. Up-to-date details about authors can generally be easily found through an online search.
All web-links (URL) are functional when an i2Insights blog post or webpage are published. Over time, broken links, essentially hyperlinks that no longer go to their intended destination, will occur and, because they degrade user experience and reduce the usefulness of a website, they require active management.
Our current approach to managing links on this site is to run a regular audit of the website and to resolve any broken links found (on a 1–2-month cycle), though we may ‘wait-and-see’ under some circumstances (eg., if an external website appears to be experiencing temporary connection issues).
Broken links have a diverse set of causes and we aim to provide transparency about any changes we make to any blog post or webpage. When replacing a broken link, we do the following:
- if we are confident the content at the destination link end is unchanged (eg., the same webpage has been moved within the menu of an external website, thereby giving it a new link), then we swap the old link on our site for the new active link at the destination end, without any notification that this has occurred.
- if we cannot find the same content as that accessed by the previous link, then we remove the hyperlink. This involves leaving the text of the original link in place but making the link non-active. We also annotate the change, as “[Moderator update – …]” for blog posts or “[Website administrator – …]” for website pages, and within the brackets we add the date and also usually explain why the change has been made.
- We also add a moderator or website administrator comment: a) to explain if there is something unusual about a link we have changed; and b) if we make a more expansive change to the text in and around a link.
Broken links can be missed and if you notice that a web-link no longer works, please let us know.
