Facebook for scientists and scholars?

Last update: 10-10-2008 12:19 PM

Can social networks, similar to Facebook, be used for communication between scientists?

This is just one question among many regarding modes of communication between researchers. Others are

  • publication (open-access and peer-review)
  • scientist and research networks
  • research archives and research registration
  • bibliometrics

Monday December 1, 2008 Copenhagen University Library and Information Service (CULIS) will hold
a seminar with the title "Trends in Scholarly Communication".
