First paper

Dear friends,

After one full and intense year of fieldwork, labs, reports, writing papers, and conferences, the results started to materialize.

We are very happy to announce you that our first manuscript, entitled Palaeodiet during the pre-dormancy period of MIS 3 Romanian cave bears as inferred from dental microwear analysis has been accepted to be published by the prestigious Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology Journal (Impact Factor: 3.6; Q1) of Elsevier.

The paper was written by the IPHES collaborators and INTEGRATE’s team. Paulo, the first author is a Master student, under the supervision of Dr. Florent Rivals and he deserves all our admiration for his work. Also, this is his first scientific paper. What an entrance into the world of Science, Paulo! Congrats!

Moreover, The Rovira i Virgili University approved the funding of the open access publishing fee for the article, therefore, you can download it, guys, for free, here:

This is an evocative example of how two teams, from different countries of the European Union joined together their resources and started a successful story of collaboration for the benefit of us all.

Dear friends, today, life is good.
