Geographic and language barriers with virtual spaces for collaboration: private workspaces for sensitive research, and public workspaces for networking and sharing.
Institutional barriers by connecting groups on a geographic interface containing affiliation data from scientific publications and geo-referenced contact information; allowing users to readily identify collaborators by region, topic, or scientific method.
Disciplinary barriers by connecting disparate data sources on a common platform, hosting analytical tools from multiple disciplines, and fostering opportunities to network and develop collaborative proposals.
