Welcome to the new home of the Applied Sustainability Research Group housed within the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen's University. This research group focuses on applied sustainability, which is the application of science and innovation to ensure a better quality of life for all, now and into the future, in a just and equitable manner, whilst living within the limits of supporting ecosystems.

Queen's Applied Sustainability Research Group - Open Access Policy

The group makes its best effort to open source its literature reviews and protocols as the research is taking place. In addition, the group publishes in open access journals as much as possible and posts its pre-prints on Q-Space. To browse pre-prints from the group by subject go here or by title go here. Normally these pre-prints/final drafts are released under CC-BY-SA as soon as we are able. You can also read more details about completed projects here.

Help with Wiki Markup

The following are a few links that are helpful in writing in the wiki langauge.

Every page that you make should have {{QASpage}} at the top and be placed in the appropriate categories.

Useful stuff for grad students

I am published - now what?

As you know getting a paper in the peer reviewed literature does not guarantee it will be widely read. In the group we then take the following steps:

  1. Write up a summary page in Appropedia of your article and place it in this category - it should link back to your literature review and any protocols you used. It should also have key findings and enhanced figures. It must have the full citation for your paper with a link both to the article at the journal via DOI and a link to your preprint on Q-Space. Finally, you should hyperlink all keywords within Appropedia and drop it in appropriate categories (e.g. photovoltaic).
  2. Format the summary appropriately and also place it on your Scitopics page - make sure to invite all co-authors to contribute to that page.
  3. Format the pre-print for Q-space with a header showing the full citation. Include all figures and tables - make it as readable as possible and send to Dr. Pearce to post here.
  4. For highly scientific work we will begin to post at Open Research - Dr. Pearce's page there.
  5. Finally if your work is newsworthy we will write a summary and send it to the University Press Office to release.
