The LTER Publications Committee has released a document entitled LTER Publications Committee Role and Responsibility covering what we do and why we do it. This is the document approved by the LTER Executive Board last spring - but edited slightly to reflect the fact that it is no longer a proposal - and with the inclusion of more specific guidelines for determining what is and is not appropriate for the US LTER Science and Synthesis Series. Members of the Publications Committee approved the changes.
You can find a link to the document on the LTER intranet (http://intranet.lternet.edu/modules.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=640).
