Researcher tools


2collab enables you to create your own groups or join others to share, collaborate and network. Groups can be private with invited people only, or public groups: open to wider use by the scientific community. You can bookmark any item of interest – such as websites, articles, references, news, blogs - and share with your group; whether that’s your research group, colleagues, friends or students. 2colalb is linked with the Science Direct database subscribed to by DIT Library.

ResearcherID is a free, online community where authors receive a unique identifier to eliminate author mis-identification, increase recognition of an author's work and facilitate global collaboration among researchers. Researcher ID is linked to the Web of Science database subscribed to by DIT Library. At this site, you can:
  • Update your profile information
  • Build your publication list using Web of Science search services or uploading a file
  • Select to make your profile public or private.
  • The Citings Articles Network graphically depicts who is citing your articles using an interactive world map.
  • The Collaboration Network displays your collaboration associates also using an interactive world map
  • Badge feature that allows you or others to place an interactive badge on any web page
