I’m an independent/retired researcher without an affiliation — can I join?
Possibly. We know that there are plenty of independent and retired reseachers out there who are doing quality work — you will see some of it published here already. However, the genuine independent and retired researchers will understand that there are also a lot of people out there who are looking for somewhere to express ideas and opinions but who lack the benefit of research training or a proper grounding in the issues they aspire to discuss. Therefore, if you have qualifications and/or experience in research, please write to us at the address given here with details of your qualifications/experience. Please also let us have your address, your email address, and your desired username and password for your account. We will inform you of our decision by email as soon as possible; our decision whether to grant membership to researchers who are not employed by proper research instutitions is final.
