Research 2.0: An e-Social Science workshop on 18 June.

28 May 2008

Extension of Web 2.0 tools to support academic and other research.

9am - 5pm, The University of Manchester

Web 2.0 promises a peer-to-peer, dynamic environment that extends beyond one-way presentation of information, and engages large numbers of Internet users to create, annotate, review, reuse, recreate, and represent the information publicized on the Web. Research 2.0 is a term we use to describe the extension of Web 2.0 tools to support academic and other research.

This one-day workshop, which will be held in conjunction with the 4th International e-Social Science conference at Manchester, aims to map current territory of Research 2.0 (What Web 2.0 applications exist in research and how have they been adopted), and to identify the opportunities and challenges in the development and implementation of Research 2.0. It will consist of a number of short papers and a discussion session identifying promising research directions and initiating interdisciplinary collaboration.
