The American Institute of Physics has announced the addition of UniPHY Discussion Groups - a new interactive feature - on the UniPHY (aipuniphy.org) professional and social networking platform. AIP UniPHY is a scientific networking site for physical scientists. It allows them to search for collaborators, see what competitors are up to, communicate with colleagues, and exhibit their own latest work.
The new feature will allow UniPHY members to form collaborative environments centered on any number of common interests, including journals, disciplines, institutions, organisations or upcoming events. It gives researchers the ability to create public groups, which any UniPHY member can join; create private groups and invite selected members to join; create or comment on threaded discussions within group pages; and search for groups created by other members.
UniPHY claims to be a first-of-its-kind networking platform for physical scientists. The platform is pre-populated with 300,000 profiles of individual scientists based on their publication history. A researcher can discover the work each of these scientists has conducted and follow a web of connections, including co-authors and the co-authors' collaborators.
