A Sounding Board for Ideas - MyNetResearch Forums

Forums have become a ubiquitous part of websites in the new Web 2.0 world. Forums allow an exchange of information in a less formal setting than journals and magazines and even allow lurkers to visit and learn from the exchanges that take place. However, very few interdisciplinary forums currently exist. If one were to take a look at Google or Yahoo forums for example, you would find most to be single subject or specialized forums. The new research focus is interdisciplinary and collaborative. The need also is to have forums that walk the fine line between moderation and non-moderation.

MyNetResearch’s new forums are a perfect location for researchers seeking both attributes. They are interdisciplinary and do not employ moderation, to keep conversations moving. However, they require membership of the MyNetResearch portal (which takes about 2 minutes) in order to post. This enables the best of both worlds, where scholars and researchers from 95 countries can exchange knowledge, find answers to research questions and find research collaborators.
