A growing proportion of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) research is increasingly dependent on Cyberinfrastructure (CI). CI has experienced rapid progress in enabling technologies -hardware, storage, networking, middleware, tools, libraries -but much slower improvements in workforce development. Currently, CI consumers tend to lag substantially behind CI capabilities. This paper describes a series of linked efforts to address the gap between the workforce and the technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
