2collab, the research collaboration platform from Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of science, technology and medical (STM) information, announced today the results of a survey, asking researchers about the role of social media in their professional lives. The survey, which yielded over 1,800 responses, revealed that scientists are using blogs, wikis, and social networking and bookmarking applications primarily for professional reasons. Results show that these social media applications have provided scientists and researchers with additional resources to help them collaborate, connect, share and discover information.

The Public Knowledge Project is a research and development initiative directed toward improving the scholarly and public quality of academic research through the development of innovative online publishing and knowledge-sharing environment

GroupLens is a research lab in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We conduct research in several areas, including: * recommender systems * online communities * mobile and ubiquitious technologies * digital libraries * local geographic information systems

Why should we want our papers to be highly cited? I assume here that we want our work to influence other researchers, and that citation count is a reasonable estimate of influence.

Summary of the current doirction of blog research using data mining.

Attacks that exploit memory errors are still a serious problem. We present data randomization, a new technique that provides probabilistic protection against these attacks by xoring data with random masks. Data randomization uses static analysis to partition instruction operands into equivalence classes: it places two operands in the same class if they may refer to the same object in an execution that does not violate memory safety. Then it assigns a random mask to each class and it generates code instrumented to xor data read from or written to memory with the mask of the memory operand's class. Therefore, attacks that violate the results of the static analysis have unpredictable results. We implemented a data randomization prototype that compiles programs without modifications and can preventmany attacks with low overhead. Our prototype prevents all the attacks in our benchmarks while introducing an average runtime overhead of 11% (0%to 27%) and an average space overhead below 1%.

Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project through its federally funded efforts to expand and improve access to research.

Then I know how to explain what's Diigo.

In April 25, 2008 China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) issued the Research Report of China Youth Internet Behaviors. Data shows that till the end of 2007, the number of young web users (under the age of 25) has reached 107 million, which is about half of the overall size of Chinese Internet users.
