Why
use 2collab?
- Discover new research material
- Share and identify quality information
- Avoid "blind
alleys" by learning from peers
- Collaborate without email
- Highlight new research
- Mine collective
wisdom of experts
- Form discussions either in private groups or openly with the wider scientific community
2collab works by being a social bookmarking site where you can store and organize
your favorite internet resources - such as research articles from any publisher, blogs, websites, and more. Then, in private or public
groups you can share your bookmarks with others - your colleagues, research team, students / class, or the wider pool of experts in your
field. Members of groups can evaluate these resources (by rating bookmarks and adding comments), or add their own bookmarks.
You
can browse public groups and bookmarks, but must register (your name and email address) to access the full functionality and create your
own groups, joining in discussions, and adding bookmarks.
