STM publisher Elsevier has announced that its Scopus data enables visualisation of how densely Max Planck institutes are linked with their local and international partners. This visualisation is part of the new Max Planck Science Gallery in the Science Forum building at the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, to open on September 8, 2011. This innovative multimedia exhibition center offers a platform to inform the general public how Max Planck scientists are working on the advancement of science and about potential impact of their research on future developments in areas such as medicine or energy.
Collaboration amongst scientists is seen to be increasingly important. About half of all scientific publications by German scientists are reportedly being produced in collaboration with international partner institutes. Elsevier's Scopus data helps researchers worldwide to identify current and potential research partners. The development of the visualisation at the Max Planck Science Gallery was coordinated by Information Visualizer Moritz Stefaner using Scopus data and shows how densely the Max Planck institutes are connected with other research partners at various universities and institutes.
In addition to the traditional Max Planck exhibitions like the 'Science Tunnel' and the 'Science Express', the Max Planck Science Gallery offers a novel experience centre and meeting point opening doors to the Max Planck Society.
