After various beta phases “scholarz.net” is now ready for the Public Launch. From now on everybody will be able to register on www.scholarz.net without a golden ticket.
The unobstructed course of the three big test phases in which over 2000 researchers were able to use “scholarz.net” has encouraged us to open the platform for the public now. The core functions are running smoothly and some further wishes of our users have already been added (see “scholarz.net” update – You have spoken, we have put it into practice)
For those who haven’t yet experienced “scholarz.net”: “scholarz.net” is an online software for academic research. It helps researchers to work better and more efficiently. Its core is a new kind of knowledge management. It is combined with a social knowlege platform and a research network. With “scholarz.net” you can both manage your data and information more efficiently and collaborate and team up with other researchers.
We would like to thank our developers who have struggled through more than one night to realize all those digital fantasies.
Some universities are already thinking about integrating “scholarz.net” into their library systems. Private users will nevertheless be able to use “scholarz.net” for free. We will still be working on “scholarz.net” (that’s why it’s still called “beta”), because there is still much more potential in the idea of a “Worldwide Web 2.0 tool kit for researchers” to be realized. Be part of this great idea to connect young researchers worldwide! The coming weeks will be very exciting!
Take a look at www.scholarz.net and see what has changed. We’re glad about every feedback!
