" The CSA is a collaboration of scientists, software developers and educators who collectively develop, manage and utilise internet-based citizen science projects in order to further science itself, and the public understanding of both science and of the scientific process. These projects use the time, abilities and energies of a distributed community of citizen scientists who are our collaborators "

The distributed network environment research program in the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing conducts research and development activities to support distributed high-end science in the Office of science. It focuses on end-to-end of high-performance, high-capacity and middleware network technologies necessary to provide secure access to distributed science facilities, high-performance computing recourses and large-scale scientific collaborations.

Peerage of Science is a community of scientists from 34 countries and over 200 institutions around the world. You may well recognise some of the over 700 Peers. Peerage of Science also involves participating journals and supporting institutions. Also, check out what the community is talking about in the blog.

" Mendeley/PLoS API Binary Battle Build an application with our data, make science more open, win $10,001 and more! What's it all about? PLoS and Mendeley, the popular reference manager and academic social network, teamed up to create a Binary Battle contest to build the best apps that make science more open using PLoS and/or Mendeley's APIs (Application Programming Interface)."

The Planetary Data System (PDS) is an archive of data products from NASA planetary missions, which is sponsored by the NASA Office of Space Science. We actively manage the archive to maximize its usefulness, and it has become a basic resource for scientists around the world. All PDS-produced products are peer-reviewed, well-documented, and easily accessible via a system of online catalogs that are organized by planetary disciplines

Research 2.0 deals with the involvement of the web in science. It spans from the utilization of Web 2.0 tools and technologies in research to a more open and sharing approach to science. Some definitions of Research 2.0 even include notions of a methodological change due to the abundance of data, and the nature of the socio-technical systems on the web.

Milkyway@Home uses the BOINC platform to harness volunteered computing resources, creating a highly accurate three dimensional model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This project enables research in both astroinformatics and computer science. In computer science, the project is investigating different optimization methods which are resilient to the fault-prone, heterogeneous and asynchronous nature of Internet computing; such as evolutionary and genetic algorithms, as well as asynchronous newton methods. While in astroinformatics, Milkyway@Home is generating highly accurate three dimensional models of the Sagittarius stream, which provides knowledge about how the Milky Way galaxy was formed and how tidal tails are created when galaxies merge.
