Web crawlers play a key role in scientific research by gathering information from the public web and indexing it for search engines. Before their existence, the scientific world lacked efficient communication between researchers, resulting in slower progress and disconnected pockets of information. Now, over 35% of research papers involve international collaboration thanks to over 11 million digitized papers available via search. Custom web crawling allows researchers to simultaneously search thousands of databases for critical information, fueling networked science.

2.  SO, what is the impact of web
crawling on Scientific research?
 Simply, web crawlers are the
building blocks of the multi-
directional flow of information.

3.  The World Before Information
Retrieval System
 Scientific world suffered
along with our entire
civilization.
 The progress of science was
slow as there was no
informative communication
among scientists which
could have saved time,
effort and natural resources.
 The world of science was
scattered into some
disconnected pockets.

4.  What was Needed Back Then?
 A great volume of idle
information?
No.
The flow of information was
needed but, the world
lacked the bliss of a world
wide web and a search
engine, or a scientific way of
information retrieval from a
global data bank through
web spider or web crawling
technology.

5.  Needs of a Healthy Scientific
Research
 Speedy information retrieval
 Authenticity of information
 Availability of critical information
at the right moment
 Searchable updates from
different scientific communities
 A secured global data bank of
research materials, accessible to
every remote research groups.
 Timely procurement of resource is
also an important factor, which is
next to impossible without
collecting adequate information
from the web.

6.  Scientific World after World Wide
Web
 Today, more than 35% of
published research papers
have active international
collaboration.
 Digital version of more than 11
million scientific research
papers are now available on
the web, which are the 'holy
bible' for budding scientists.
 Networked science - every
scientific document is made
searchable on the web

7.  Scientist’s Voice
"the future of scientific research
depends on sifting through more
information, more quickly, and more
effectively. For a researcher to
expect to be able to search 1,000
databases simultaneously for critical
information is not unreasonable."
Without custom web crawling this
can be anything but a
reality.
