The document discusses scientific social networks and how they can help researchers in the current environment of funding cuts and fewer students. It presents MyScienceWork as a centralized platform dedicated to research with a global community, over 28 million open access articles, and tools to help with every step of the research process. MyScienceWork aims to increase efficiency and enable more collaboration and interdisciplinarity through its semantic search and personalized features. Further innovation is planned to advance these goals and move towards more open science.

Scientific Social Networks?
Why would I spend my time using
social networks?
Are social networks adapted to
science? Do they respond to my
needs?

Scientific Social Networks?
Waste time on something
not taken into account for my
evaluation?
Social network are not for work/research.
Someone might steal my ideas or
results!
I work for myself not someone else.
