Hello, this is the user page of Tiffany Bogich. I am the co-founder of sci.pe (science periodicals) and one of the founding editors of Journal for the Planet.

I initially set up this account to suggest and make uncontroversial edits to articles related to the business of sci.pe which includes academic publishing, scholarly journals, peer review, editorial management systems, and open access. These are all topics that I personally have gained expertise in while working in the industry and previously as an academic researcher (see background below). I would like to disclose here that contributions are made by me, but also on behalf of sci.pe as I am directly involved in the development of sci.pe as one of it's co-founders. I will abide by all of Wikipedia's guidelines on editing and requesting articles, especially on topics that I am closely involved in. My objective is to ensure that accurate and impartial information is available on sci.pe and to make a positive contribution to any pages on topics for which I have expertise, hopefully leading to improved articles.

Additionally, I plan to contribute to pages related to my research experience including Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, especially in Southeast Asia, species area relationships, New Zealand land snails, disease ecology, conservation biology, and applied mathematics.

Background
Previously, I was a RAPIDD (Research and Policy in Infectious Disease Dynamics) postdoctoral research fellow at Princeton University (funded by Fogarty International Center, NIH). I was also an adjunct faculty member at Columbia University and senior research fellow at EcoHealth Alliance. See my google scholar profile for a list of scholarly publications
