GoTriple, integrated into the OPAS portfolio of infrastructure services, includes features such as “a recommender system that suggests publications, authors and projects based on previous search queries” and “a trust-building system, which allows users to connect their social circles”.
It also includes a scientific funding collaboration service, which “helps researchers develop communication strategies and obtain seed funding for their projects.”
“The platform provides two innovative options for viewing research maps (Streamgraph and Knowledge Map) and an online commenting tool (Pundit) for users to comment on online publications and share their notes,” he points out.
