Researchgate.net e Academia.edu, two databases for scientific papers

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

In recent years, people who want access to research products can find them at two sites reserved for researchers all over the world but also to people interested in scientific issues.

The sites are available free of charge upon registration.

At the site a topic can be searched by author or keywords, for example: tectonic normal faults, neotectonic, quaternary, and of course the similar words in italian or other languages.

The sites are Research Gate (www.researchgate.net) and Academia (www.academia.edu)

You can download a scientific article or in case is not available in the site because sometimes there are copyright issues you can contact the author and ask to receive the PDF.

Of course, you can also upload your own articles.
