Nature Network — http://network.nature.com — connecting scientists worldwide
Nature Publishing Group today launches Nature Network http://network.nature.com, a new free online networking website for scientists worldwide. This pioneering Web 2.0 toolkit will help scientists everywhere to meet like-minded researchers, hold online discussions, showcase their work via personal homepages, share information with groups (open or private) and tag content. Participation is free to all, requiring little more than www.nature.com registration. User-driven upgrades will roll out regularly from now on.
“I’m delighted that we can further our commitment to stimulating and facilitating scientific communication and collaboration in such an innovative, accessible and democratic way,” says Timo Hannay, Nature Publishing Group’s Web Publishing Director.
