Scispace. net is a non-commercial, non-profit and free-to-use social network service designed specifically for collaborating researchers. In several respects it builds on many of the tools found in standard social network service and elearning sites, such as the use of wikis, blogs, comments, tags, comment walls, and profiles. However, unlike many of these sites, privacy and fine-grained access control is of paramount importance.

  • Scispace. net is a non-commercial, non-profit and free-to-use social network service designed specifically for collaborating researchers. In several respects it builds on many of the tools found in standard social network service and elearning sites, such as the use of wikis, blogs, comments, tags, comment walls, and profiles. However, unlike many of these sites, privacy and fine-grained access control is of paramount importance. For example, a small group of researchers using these tools to develop a set of ideas that will ultimately lead to a publication or funding proposal need to be certain that their ideas, and the existence of these ideas, will not be seen by others. Until the advent of social network service and related web 2.0 technologies, the primary tool for collaborators has been email, which the owners/authors feel serves this purpose only poorly. Scispace. net has been developed by scientists working within an academic environment, but the owners/authors believe that this approach should be able to meet the needs of collaborators working in different disciplines and different environments. In many ways scispace. net is an active experiment in how these tools can be used to support collaborative research, in what is actually a fast-changing environment.
