Previous population estimates of the 0+ plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) in the Firth of Forth, east central Scotland, did not take account of the Forth estuary west of the Forth bridges. Previous work found plaice in the estuary grew as fast as, or... Read More about The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test.

Why investigative journalism is relevant in the digital era (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Neill, E. (2008, June). Why investigative journalism is relevant in the digital era. Paper presented at Investigative Journalism Goes Global, London

In an era of rapidly shifting platforms for the media, this paper analysed the current state of play and argued that investigative journalism was as relevant, perhaps even more so, than ever before.
