CodeForScience Turkey

Glad to host the first CodeforScience event in Turkey.

If you haven't seen yet, checked the new Lipid Structure App at ScienceDirect and Scopus. It's a great example how an "open platform" can create domain specific solutions collaborating with scientific community. These are still first steps for what we are creating for a new scholarly communication and discovery platform...

Economy is crashing, apps are smashing

Just believe in the process....a brief summary of 2011

Knowledge Discovery Solutions & STM research products

What a year, 100+ solutions "built by researchers for researchers" in an STM platform and what an effort in the last two months of our team and the developers creating these solutions.
Many thanks to everyone -students, librarians, developers, researchers, scientists- in participating in this new ecosystem and bringing your innovations and solutions.
Happy 2012.

Parking in 6th Street and Kim Jong Eun

Just in case my wife took picture of this doubled parked van, so if it hits our car we know where to go

















The first thing that Kim Jong Eun needs is a presidential haircut. Just stop by at Royal barber shop in East Village where all the barbers are from former Soviet Union











If you are interested in our new solutions that we've releasing continuously in Elsevier's applications marketplace check the apps gallery Thanks to all our developer community members!

Scenarios: Google+ and VIVO

If plenty of Universities follow Brown's example and use Google Apps for Education, and if Google + gets traction within scientific community, and if VIVO is successful it can be an interesting landscape for scientific collaboration and networking.

Personalization done right and what's with the apps?

Personalization is not easy. Worth watching how Yahoo Labs scientists are tackling this issue with news content.

And if you are interested to find out how we are doing in terms apps ecosystem in SciVerse and the new Elsevier's Applications and Developer Network initiative just check out all the new solutions that are available to SciVerse users in our applications gallery; you can see one example of our collaboration with scientific community in this case NCBI with the Genome Viewer app; we initiated community driven projects AppsforScience Challenge and AppsforLibrary Idea Challenge, hackathons at NJIT and Tetherless World Health and Life Sciences Hackathon and coming soon Singapore Code Jam.

Overall we are doing "jolie" good...

Here is the Genome Viewer app that was developed by our Content Innovation team and NCBI:

Believe in the Apps, and set your API product vision

The app that RPI TWRC team built for our application marketplace is featured at data.gov site.

That's collaboration

Government+private sector+academia+researchers, that's how we'll improve scientific productivity.

Change is here: Elsevier's Applications Marketplace & Developers Network

Finally all the API, opening up, open up applications, mashups, applicationmarketplace, widgets tags that you have been seen in the past few years came alive early Sunday morning, go check-it out

This is a new publishing ecosystem and a new innovation playground for the whole developer community -researchers, librarians, scientists, developers, start-ups- go start coding, collaborating, innovating to create apps that will help the scientific and research community.

Exciting and appy times

"Made things happen with science"

This is one of the reasons why opening APIs is good for Science, and we'll be there helping developer community "made things happen with science"
