- Working out who will win the World Cup?
Front: Roberta Takenaka, Louise van Heerden and Solange Santos
Two representatives from SciELO Brazil Solange Santos (the SciELO supervisor) and Roberta Takenaka (SciELO System Analyst) visited ASSAf from 24 May to 2 June 2010 for SciELO IT and SciELO workflow training. The following Scholarly Publishing staff attended the training: Tawanda December (Systems and Database Manager); Louise van Heerden (Metadata Librarian) and Zweli Ndayi (Project Officer). The training has enabled the SciELO-team to understand the SciELO network and how it is set up; as well as the SciELO methodology, including the markup and conversion of articles and sending them to the public SciELO site.
The SciELO SA and SciELO Brazil teams will work in parallel for a few months.
