Is my content relevant to the weADAPT audience?

weADAPT publishes a wide range of content pertaining to climate change adaptation (including the synergies with mitigation) both in terms of the subject and tone/style of content.

However, there are certain categories of content that we prefer not to publish as Articles/Case Studies. You can check that the content you are thinking about contributing doesn’t fit into any of the following:

  • Commercial advertising.
  • Event advertising.
  • News stories/blogs.

Otherwise, announcements can be made on the discussion forums and news stories that are substantial in that they share lessons learnt that are of use to to other weADAPT members will be considered for publication on weADAPT. If you are unsure about whether your content fits in weADAPT, get in touch at [email protected].

In addition, to retain the quality of our content submitted by Authors and its usefulness to others:

  • All content must be relevant to climate adaptation.
  • Technical work should be based on published approaches/methods/tools that are referenced.

Once you have submitted your content for review, the weADAPT Knowledge Manager will begin preparing it for publishing. The amount of editing needed can range from small formatting changes to more structural alterations. However, if changes are needed (which are invariably to improve the accessibility of the content to the weADAPT audience) the Knowledge Manager will write to you suggesting these before it is published.

For further information on legal and copyright issues, see here.

Is there any quality assurance of the content that is added? Can I trust the content?

All weADAPT content is directly attributable to the Organisation, Network or member that added it. It is not visible to people other than the contributors, Knowledge Manager and Editor until it is made visible (‘published’) by an Editor, and will not appear in search returns (in weADAPT or any other search engine) until it is public.
