Definition

  • The role of community has always been critical to the scientific enterprise, and an examination of these communities in the context of social networking demonstrates science's inherent relationship with the world of professional collaboration. Many of the hallmarks of this collaboration, and interaction with the public, that could be found in science prior to the Internet have been replicated online.
