ResearchGATE, a scientific network for scientists and researchers, has announced that SIGMA XI, The Scientific Research Society, has implemented its social networking platform for its more than 60,000 members - students, researchers, and scientists. More than 200 Nobel laureates have been members of Sigma Xi, including Albert Einstein, James Watson & Francis Crick, and more.
With ResearchGATE, members of Sigma Xi will now have the ability to share their profiles with other members, see updates from other scientists and researchers in their network with the new microblogging feature, and share documents and data effortlessly so that scientists can work more effectively together and learn from previous experiments.
ResearchGATE connects researchers and information, and offers tools tailored to researchers' need and helps them keep in touch with scientists all over the world. Users can search abstracts and find experts or colleagues from all over the world. They can query powerful search engines to discover articles related to their research focus in indexes containing millions of publications from different sources. The site also has an international job board with a listing of more than 950 career opportunities.
ResearchGate has built a network of more than 400,000 researchers from 200 countries. More than 1,000 subgroups have been created for specific disciplines, and more than 60,000 research documents have been uploaded for sharing with others on the site. Sigma Xi has its own sub-community on ResearchGATE, which can relate to other sub-communities and groups based on various affinities.
