Sounds like a papers based forum. This would allow reviews as well as references. |
|
| |
Like a lot... this could work. Would be a kind of
permanent online conference where you interact
with your and others' communities. |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be a phone sex line staffed by poor graduate students. |
|
| |
This is OK too, but just not the same. |
|
| |
this could definitely extend to journals. do you all know any site like this currently? bc I find myself wasting more and more time looking for useful papers. |
|
| |
[shapu], that was actually how we'll monetize the site... |
|
| |
This is a great idea overall, not certain why something like this does not exist already. I say baked or not go for it. |
|
| |
I am also surprised Al Gore did not invent it back when he invented the internet he should be ashamed. |

Welcome to the wonderous world of research [goodmars]! |
|
| |
who wants to make this site with me!? |
|
| |
Are you imagining it to be a community response or an automatic recommender system? |
|
| |
I'm in as member but I just discovered Google Scholar so it might be awhile before I do anything except lurk. |
|
| |
google scholar is amazing. google really needs to just buy the government. |
|
| |
google should change its name to googly and then buy the government |
|
| |
also i like the sound of the word Googlement |
|
| |
united states googlement. I like. |
|
| |
any takers on the development side? |
|

So your solution is to eat up many extra hours of a bunch of researchers' time moping around on a website suggesting papers to people on top of everything? |
|
| |
In terms of efficiency, [People's memories < google or databases], unless they have a crazy good memory or are one of the top people in their field, which would make them very rare or too important to spend much time on this site, respectively. And that means the website will create a net loss of efficiency, especially amongst the kinder and more benevolent scientists amongst us, for no particularly good societal reason. The whole journal system is bad enough already... |
|
| |
+ and title is [marked-for-tagline] + good one. |
|
| |
This is a very good idea. It replicates how people act in real life, but on a larger scale. This would be exceptionally useful. |
|
| |
There are plenty of consulting groups that will find the right person with whom you may talk tech = nerdy for the right price. |
|
| |
I speak from experience on both sides; in business, finding the right consultant for a 1-hour phone consultation is well worth the cost, and earning $120-240/hour for a phone conversation in the area of one's expertise and interest is well worth the distraction. |
|
| |
I like extending the idea of an online scientific community to online conferences. Once a month, sub specialties of scientists can upload presentations for projects they are working on along with voice recordings presenting the slides. A designated Q&A session (i.e comments section) will be set to mimic the constraints of a real conference. Additionally, scientific companies can sponsor specific presentations. |
|
| |
There are things like this that exist already :) |
|
| |
hey [quantum_flux], what "things" did you have in mind? I've heard of OpenWetWare, but I wish you'd be a little more descriptive =) |
|
| |
still waiting on those sites quantum, it would be really helpful... |
|
| |
It's a "talk to a librarian" website, unfortunately there is an accademic enrollment requirement though. I think this would be cool to be open to the public though [+] |
|
| |
You can type nerdy to me at my website though. |
|
| |
Hey 21Q, I need to pick up as many people as I can. |
|
| |
Is that an HP48GX in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? |
|
| |
baby, I wanna be rostral to your medulla |
|
| |
Hey quantum_flux, any news on a similar site? |
