| Abstract: | “Open science,” where researchers share and publish every element of their research process in addition to the final results,
can foster novel ways of collaboration among researchers and has the potential to spontaneously create new virtual research
collaborations. Based on scientific interest, these new virtual research collaborations can cut across traditional boundaries
such as institutions and organizations. Advances in technology allow for software tools that can be used by different research
groups and institutions to build and support virtual collaborations and infuse open science. This paper describes Talkoot,
a software toolkit designed and developed by the authors to provide Earth Science researchers a ready-to-use knowledge management
environment and an online platform for collaboration. Talkoot allows Earth Science researchers a means to systematically gather,
tag and share their data, analysis workflows and research notes. These Talkoot features are designed to foster rapid knowledge
sharing within a virtual community. Talkoot can be utilized by small to medium sized groups and research centers, as well
as large enterprises such a national laboratories and federal agencies. |
