The collection of “Recent CRC Community Publications” (RCCP) is a new CRC service — still under development — that will provide easy access to recent (post 2016) Bay-relevant peer-reviewed publications from Chesapeake Bay Program partners.  Its holdings are continually growing with time. At present, however, the collection is limited to some “prototypical” entries  (as highlighted in our Winter 2018 Newsletter) for purposes of user feedback. The database can be accessed  and explored through an interface provided below.

This collection is  based on submissions to the CRC from institutional librarians or other representatives or through submissions from the authors themselves.   Submissions for inclusion can include either single publications or long lists of relevant citations from institutional groups (e.g. academic departments and colleges). Both types are very welcome.

Please send suggestions for additions (w/ DOI numbers if possible) or other  comments/suggestions to <CRC-citation@chesapeake.org>.  Submissions should be limited to scientific contributions that:

• were subjected to external peer-review and accessible through library services;
• were published after January 1, 2016;
• were authored or co-authored by individuals employed with one of the seven principal CRC member institutions or with other major Chesapeake Bay Program partners; and
• have direct relevance to the science and/or management of the Chesapeake Bay or its watershed.

Further details about the the submission process can be found here. Further details about the purpose and “value added” of the RCCP collection (relative to other on-line databases) can be found here.
