Not-for-profit life sciences publisher CABI, UK, has announced that researchers now have faster and easier access to information on development projects, as a result of an upgrade to the Department for International Development’s (DFID) website.
For the first time, research that had previously been communicated through the Research for Development (R4D) website is now fully integrated into DFID’s website, creating a one-stop shop for all information relating to the UK government’s international development activities.
The R4D portal, which contains information on all research funded by DFID, was initially established in 2006 and managed by CABI.
Although the website was already proving successful in the dissemination of research, this upgrade will reportedly take that further. Research would be searchable not only by a simple keyword but also by country or region, by theme, by research contacts, or by advanced boolean search.
CABI, which claims to have decades of experience in providing users with clearly organised, accessible data, is said to have applied this to the new site. The upgrade is projected to have created a much more modern, exciting interface for R4D.
