The Research Atlas

Mapping Research

Our goal is to build an interactive and living atlas of global research from all disciplines.
The Research Atlas is intended as a research display and discovery tool to assist researchers in both showing their research, and in finding all the research relevant to a geographic area. Using a map interface to discover research allows us to remove the constraints and difficulties imposed by language differences, geographical naming differences, disciplinary differences, and citation stream differences.

We will be inviting researchers of all persuasions to add their research to the Atlas - the more comprehensive the data set, the more useful the tool.

Interested?

The Research Atlas has three principal objectives:

To facilitate research discovery, dissemination and communication across disciplines, sectors, citation streams, nations and languages.

To enable research access by the location of the research as well as by key words.

To make research and the research community more visible to the public and policy makers.

We welcome membership from all researchers and research organisations.

You won't need an account to view the Atlas (although there are some limitations). You will need an account to add your research to the Atlas, and we will be asking for a subscription fee, because everything costs money, and we don't want to sell people's data to advertisers to keep the lights on.
