How to Request Documents or Specific Help
Click here to submit questions or to provide feedback
All registered users are encouraged to make
requests to IDPAS for documents, research reports or any type
of information or support that will help them to further field
work to improve iron nutrition.
How to obtain documents?
Over 800 research reports and documents are available from
the IDPAS Iron World web pages, its linkages to other sites
or from the IDPAS Iron World CDROMS.
Users look through
the Iron World pages that are arranged by topics and subtopics.
They will find a site search engine at the top of each page
that points to the IDPAS database. There is a list of all
references alphabetized by title and another alphabetized
by author will be coming soon. All references include notations
that allow the user to request a "hard copy" of
the related document from IDPAS. In many cases, users can
view and/or download the referenced information in Adobe Acrobat
form either from the IDPAS reference collection or through
a link to the referenced document's publication source. A
link to the Adobe Acrobat reader is also provided for those
who need to install it. IDPAS continually seeks required permissions
to include full text files of research articles and other
materials. Users are requested to utilize any files obtained
from IDPAS in accordance with copyright regulations and to
fully cite all sources when used.
How to obtain other information and assistance?
For questions that are not easily addressed through the IDPAS
Iron World document collection or related links, all registered
users are free to send questions or request information through
e-mail, letter, faxes or phone. All relevant questions are
welcome. A "box" for such questions is also included
on many of the IDPAS Iron World pages.
When the IDPAS Project Office receives a question, efforts
are made to quickly and thoroughly respond. When the required
information can better be found with other organizations or
specific experts, researchers or other individuals, IDPAS
forwards the requests and then follows up on such queries
to assure those requesting help are satisfied.
What do IDPAS responses and services cost?
All IDPAS services are free of charge to all those working
in this field from developing countries and others who support
them.
