How research benefits from Web 2.0 services
ZB MED to participate in newly established Science 2.0 research group
Cologne, 12 October 2012 – Are new web technologies changing the face of research? Are researchers reaping the benefits of Web 2.0 and social media? And how has the Internet affected the way in which science and research operates? These and related questions will be the subject of the Science 2.0 research group which the Leibniz Association has established with a five-year mandate. The group will be composed of 15 Leibniz institutes as well as the German National Library of Medicine (ZB MED) and nine further institutions. The aim of the initiative is to conduct an interdisciplinary and comprehensive investigation of Science 2.0 over the next few years. The group will be led by the German National Library of Economics (ZBW).
