Akce v ČR a v zahraničí

rubriku kompiluje Lukáš Drašar

Z dopisů čtenářů můžeme snadno odvodit, že tuto rubriku čtou a používají stále více. Pro redakci je to potěšitelné, neboť tato rubrika je jednou z nejpracněji připravovaných. O co více čtenářů rubriku čte, o to méně přispívá k jejímu vzniku. Redakce získává informace o chystaných akcích od českých chemiků pouze sporadicky. Většinou je kompiluje ze zdrojů od spřátelených chemických společností, z různých E-mailových oznámení, časopisů a z jiných, často kuriózních zdrojů. Informace o akcích v ČR získává převážně ze zahraničních zdrojů. Jakkoliv je kvalita a obsažnost oznámení proměnná, redakce zásadně nezkoumá jejich obsah a nepodivuje se například nad geografickými krkolomnostmi ani nad tím, že dvě skoro stejné akce se konají na dvou rozdílných místech na světě o den posunuté. Zastává názor, že pokud existuje obor konference, datum a adresa pro získání informací, je to plně relevantní informace. Čistě z ekonomických důvodů není možno přinášet informací více a kvalitnějších. To však není omluvou za chyby, které se v datech vyskytují, ať již pocházejí z původních zdrojů či vznikají při přepisu a technickém zpracování. Celá redakce se za ně omlouvá. Ani několikanásobná mnohačetná korektura zatím nedokázala těmto chybám zabránit. Redakce vítá připomínky čtenářů a ráda je vezme v potaz při dalším zlepšování vaší oblíbené rubriky.
