This initiative explores how Web 2.0 technologies can facilitate collaboration, information exchange, and global networking among scientists. Focusing on the need for improved peer-to-peer communication, we aim to support both published and grey literature. Our prototype, built on Drupal, fosters self-forming groups for researchers to engage with others on scientific topics of mutual interest. By enabling informal creation of discussions and comments, we transform the traditional landscape of scientific research collaboration and knowledge dissemination.

  2. background Motivation/Justification Hypothesis that Web 2.0 technologies can promote: • Collaboration • Information exchange • Global networking among scientists (peer-to-peer) • Scientific discovery and innovation

  3. background Motivation/Justification (cont’d.) • We believed that scientific researchers would want to collaborate in a different manner than that provided by the typical social network such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Second Life or Twitter • We also wanted the system to support a broad range of both published and grey information types such as technical reports, theses, research notes, research papers in progress

  4. Phase i Primary Goal Speed the diffusion of scientific knowledge by enabling improved web 2.0 communications among scientific and research communities. • Ease implementation of peer-to-peer communications • Enable informal content creation of both comments and discussion • Create formal published and grey literature • Provide mechanisms to access, import, share, view, and cite other published and grey literature

  5. Phase i Other Potential Benefits • Facilitate retrieval of scientific and technical information by librarians and other informationprofessionals • Apply concept to traditional government research agencies, universities, pharmaceutical companies, and all organizations involved in scientific research

  6. User/Subject Matter Expert Input Sought • Interviewed hand-selectedFocus Group • Identified larger group to provide periodic feedback Phase i

  7. Major Focus Areas During 3 years of research: • Determined high-level requirements for system • Simplicity and ease of use • Information security • Conducted survey of commercial off-the-shelf/open source systems • Produced prototype for evaluation Phase i

  8. Prototype Development • Noted considerable change in landscape of peer-to-peer collaboration between Phase I and Phase II surveys • Determined significant number of shareware or open source products were highly customizable and would meet many of the project requirements out-of-the-box Phase Ii

  9. Technology • Platform: Considered Ning, Drupal, Mambo, Joomla!, Taverna and SupportMaster; Drupal was chosen Phase Ii

  10. Technology (cont’d.) • Web-based content management system: Research and development led to building a system to enable self-forming groups, where researchers can create usefulweb-based communities around scientific topics of interest to those groups Phase Ii

  11. Technology (cont’d.) • Open Access Standards: Chosen to import documents to the Library sincea primary function of the system is a repository (library) for scientific research information Phase Ii

  12. Beta • “Science-Forums.net”: The name given the website and system bythe Project Team Phase Ii
