Abstract

Reading scientific papers is a core research activity, and helps researchers to be aware of fundamental contributions and latest trends. However, the exponential growth of scientific literature increases the complexity of evaluating what is relevant to read and why. To research how this issue can be tackled, we designed, implemented, and evaluated TiNYARM, a Science 2.0 web-based tool that leverages a social network approach to make researchers aware of what their peers are reading. We investigate how activity streams, Personal Information Management, and Gamification concepts can be leveraged to support awareness, increase collaboration, and engage users. We present an evaluation of our approach with different communities, including students with no research experience, early stage researchers, and experienced researchers. Each group found certain system aspects more relevant.
