 Work on Your Own Or Find a Partner
- You may submit a paper that you have written on your own, or you may work with a partner from your school or another PolicyNet school.
- If you wish to work with a partner, navigate to the "Find a Partner" forum and review the existing posts to see
if there is anyone you might be interested in working with.

- Monitor the forum reguarly to read any responses and find new threads.
 Create a Research Community
- One way you can use the power of PolicyNet to help in your project is to create a research community within the PolicyNet network. Use your community to store documents, files, and links to research resources. If you are working with a partner, you can share your documents, have online discussions, and manage your work schedule.
- On the Communities page, click
the "Create a Community" link on the left. The Community Wizard will walk you through the creation of a community.
NOTE: Only one person in the team should create a community.
- Set up the community.
- Invite your partner to join the community
- Set up the community forums so that you can discuss various aspects of the community.
- Add documents to your community library that are relevant to your paper.
-
The main IGLOO help files are the best place to look if you have questions about anything not explained here.
