Tim IngoldsbyAmerican Institute of Physics
ASIDIC Fall 2009 MeetingAlexandria, Virginia15 September 2009
(At Least) Two Good Reasons
• Young physicists will expect professional social networks to exist
• Should the open access movement gain widespread acceptance, publishers will have to find other revenue streams
• Professional social networks are a natural fit for scientific society publishers
Why Did We Partner With Collexis?
• Powerful Fingerprint™ technology allows creation of pre-populated networks
• Excellent track record for Collexis with Biomedexperts.com
• AIP had the raw materials for Collexis to use– SPIN database– PACS terms
We Aren’t Done Yet!
• Expect 3 or more additional releases in next 12 months
• Next release (before the end of the year) will contain– Additional “social” features– Additional connections– Additional data sources– And much more
