Knowledge management and discovery software developer Collexis Holdings, Inc., US, has announced website enhancements to BioMedExperts.com, the first online social network of its kind that promotes global collaborative medical research and development.
Collexis launched BioMedExperts.com in January 2008 to facilitate collaboration and increase biomedical research among healthcare and life sciences professionals. With 1.4 million pre-generated researcher profiles with pre-established network connections from over 120 countries, BioMedExperts.com enables users to connect with each other - free of charge - through the display and analysis of the networks of co-authors with whom each investigator works to publish scientific papers.
The initiative is the result of an agreement in which Collexis developed the knowledge discovery solutions and text mining applications for BioMedExperts. Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences provided the hardware and continued marketing support for the site. To help BioMedExperts.com users explore and expand their scientific networks, Collexis have added several new features to the site. These include expansion of available publication data back to 1980 (from 1996 in Version 1.0); four million new connections, bringing the total to more than 21 million connections; a new directory of more than 1,800 organisations and institutions from 137 countries; public profiles - non-registered users will have access to 1.4 million basic profiles; and improved features to identify and invite colleagues in your network.
Additional enhancements are planned over the next three months so that users may continue to grow their professional networks, identify researchers with necessary expertise for future collaboration and analyse the profiles and published research of scientists across the globe.
