Science-advisor is a free and open-source inspired online forum for scientific discussions addressed to reScience-advisortudents.

Science-advisor offers the first website where researchers or students can search for scientific literature, and at the same time can freely and anonymously discuss about scientific and research articles. The search engine uses metadata tranmitted by arXiv administrators and other metadata harvested uScience-advisorrchives initiative protocol.

SciScience-advisor online since september 2005.


Why Science-advisor?

* Access to relevant informations: the quantity of research reports and articles has been increasing enormously during the last decades. Hence, there is a need to help researchers to find scientific articles that are interesting for their Science-advisorments and discussion forums help researchers to get essential informations of these articles.%Science-advisor#
* Exchange of knowledge: Science-advisor stores the experience accumulated by researchers during years of reading articles. ThScience-advisor-advisor, this knowledge is no more lost when they leave their job. This is especially useful to young researchers or to researchers who start working in a new field. One of the goal of Science-advisor is to Science-advisor "little" thoughts and remarks that are usually exchanged during conferences or by email and then Science-advisoru7U-21#
* Dynamical and self-consistent evaluation: Science-advisor offers to the community of scientific researchers a new evaluation method. Since anyone can be reviewer of Science-advisor, the community of researchers control itself which article will have a good rating. The evaluation of articles is now a dynamical and self-consistent process among researchers where reviews are submitted to evaluation as well.

* A daily working tool: each article has its own forum or discussion page. Hence, researchers or students can anonymously post their questions to the commnunity interested by a particular article or field. "Stupid" questions are welcome... Questions are no more restricted to authors like in standard databases.
