In the past fifteen years, a great deal has been learned about the particular challenges of distant collaboration. Overall, we have learned that even when advanced technologies are available, distance still matters (Olson and Olson 2000). In addition, a recent seminal study of sixty-two projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) showed that the major indicator of lower success ...

We describe the effort of inspiral searches with LIGO data from the third and fourth science runs, which took place in 2003/2004 and 2005, respectively. Although the analysis pipeline is the same for all searches, there are significant differences between the three major ongoing searches: for primordial black hole binaries, binary neutron stars and binary black holes. The horizon distance for a...

In this paper, we describe a Scientific Collaboration Framework (SCF) with semantic underpinnings that is based on the popular content management system Drupal. The framework is designed to support interdisciplinary scientists in publishing, sharing and discussing content such as articles, perspectives, interviews and news items, as well as assert personal biographies and research interests – t...

The paper presents an approach to constructing a collective Web-based system for knowledge management. The work refers to the concepts and ideas widely promoted by modern web communities, such as user-created and user-annotated content or reliable search mechanisms. Also, formal ways such as ontology-to-model dependencies within collective knowledge are used to build the proposed system. The ma...

Background: The position of each subject area in scientific production can indicate the ability of the scientific performance of that subject field. Since obstetrics and gynecology is one of the most important clinical sciences discipline of medical science, this study aimed to evaluate the scientific production in the field of obstetrics and gynecology before and after the Iran health reform p...

Interaction among the scientific disciplines is of vital importance in modern science. Focusing on the case of Slovenia, we study the dynamics of interdisciplinary sciences from 1960 to 2010. Our approach relies on quantifying the interdisciplinarity of research communities detected in the coauthorship network of Slovenian scientists over time. Examining the evolution of the community structure...

It is unclear if and how collaboratories have enhanced distributed scientific collaboration. Furthermore, little is known in the way of design strategies to support such collaboration. This paper presents findings from an investigation into requirements for collaboration in e-science in the context of CiteSeer, a search engine and digital library of research literature in the computer and infor...

Collaboration is often a critical aspect of scientific research, which is dominated by complex problems, rapidly changing technology, dynamic growth of knowledge, and highly specialized areas of expertise. An individual scientist can seldom provide all of the expertise and resources necessary to address complex research problems. This paper describes collaboration among a group of scientists, a...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze the patterns of investigator and institutional collaboration in papers published in the Revista Española de Cardiología. METHODS Details of coauthorship and institutional collaboration involved in articles published in the Revista Española de Cardiología in the period 2000-2005 were recorded and a collaboration index was derived...
