    20160512-5033 FERC PDF (Unofficial) 5/11/2016 5:09:03 PM May 11, 2016 Ms. Kimberly D. Bose Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Office of the Secretary 888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20426 Dear Secretary Bose, We, the undersigned organizations from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are delivering to FERC today the petition signatures of over 8,000 people who are joining us to express our opposition to the PennEast Pipeline (CP15-558), an unneeded and damaging project. The petition signed by these individuals reads as follows: We call on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject the proposed PennEast Pipeline. This pipeline is environmentally destructive, unnecessary and unwanted. The pipeline would cut through preserved open spaces and sensitive waterways, result in an enormous surplus of gas that we don’t need, and is opposed by landowners and municipalities along its route. We urge you to reject this proposal. Representatives from our organizations have come to FERC in person today, joined by seven local mayors opposed to the pipeline, to stress the importance of hearing the voices of the many organizations, local officials and thousands of citizens opposed to the project. The vast majority of the more than 1,400 intervenors and landowners in the path of the pipeline oppose it. Many municipalities in Pennsylvania and every New Jersey municipality along the route has officially opposed the project. The PennEast Pipeline would cut through one of the most environmentally sensitive regions in the Delaware River watershed, damaging thousands of acres of preserved open space and some of the cleanest streams in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Purnell 1,2 1 Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, P.O. Box 905, 2300 AX Leiden, The Netherlands 2 Knowledge E, Office 4401, X2 Tower, JLT, 488239 Dubai, United Arab Emirates Corresponding author: Philip J. Purnell Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, P.O. Box 905, 2300 AX Leiden, The Netherlands Tel: +971 50 552 9356 [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-3146-2737 Abstract Indonesia has exhibited a unique pattern of conference proceedings publishing that was distinct from global and regional norms. Conference proceedings are now an integral part of the major citation databases, and this study examined their progressive coverage in the context of academic career advancement and Indonesian government policy. The results of analyses in Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and to a lesser extent, Dimensions showed an increase in the proportion of conference proceedings far in excess of global norms and not seen in any other South East Asian country. In the conference series containing most Indonesian proceedings papers, there was a recent increase in representation from Indonesia and an increase in the proportion of those conferences hosted in Indonesia. Local policy documents and guidelines from 2012 and 2014 appeared to encourage academics to increase research outputs in high impact internationally indexed sources but did not make any distinction between document types. The conclusion suggests that scholars might have found advantage in advancing through the hierarchy of academia through publishing conference papers that were quicker and easier to publish than journal articles.

    Academic Conferences As Learning Sites: a Multinational Comparison of Doctoral Students’ Perspectives and Institutional Policy

    Volume 14, 2019 ACADEMIC CONFERENCES AS LEARNING SITES: A MULTINATIONAL COMPARISON OF DOCTORAL STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICY Omolabake Fakunle* University of Edinburgh, [email protected] Edinburgh, United Kingdom Mollie Dollinger La Trobe University, Melbourne, [email protected] Australia Joyceline Alla-Mensah University of Nottingham, joyceline.alla- Nottingham, United Kingdom [email protected] Blair Izard University of Connecticut, [email protected] Storrs, United States *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Aim/Purpose The aim of this paper is to explore trends and motivations for doctoral students’ participation in domestic and international conferences. We draw on doctoral stu- dents’ perceptions and experiences from four contexts (USA, Scotland, England, Australia) to further explore variations across different global contexts. Background There is increased recognition of the importance of conferences within doctoral education. Yet very little is known or understood about doctoral students’ partici- pation and motivations for participating in conferences. Methodology Our sample includes doctoral students from four institutions studying in a School of Education. We used an online survey and follow-up focus group interviews to investigate doctoral students’ perceptions and experiences of conferences. Contribution There are few studies on doctoral students’ participation in conferences. This study contributes to the literature on doctoral students as it investigates the trends and rationale for doctoral students’ participation in national and international conferences. We highlight the importance of conferences as learning sites for doctoral students. Furthermore, our research highlights dissimilarities and ambi- guities in the provision of support for doctoral students’ regarding what we de- scribe as the social aspect of their researcher learning and development, in this Accepting Editor Norma J.
