This research aims to facilitate online academic conversations.
Large online discussions happen extensively on the web to exchange information, insights, humor, diverse opinions and others’ experiences. Archiving conversations available for future retrieval or contribution allows faster and more efficient consumption of information as well as better collaborations. With the growing number of tools and channels becoming available for researchers to engage with the public, and the rising significance of online platforms like science blogs, social media and sub-communities and engaging with audience, developing platforms tailored to guide, encourage and archive academic conversations around research papers is very valuable.
