The objective of research support systems (RSS) is tosupport and improve research, which may be viewed as acounterpart of decision support systems (DSS) for scientists.Web-based RSS (WRSS) assist scientists in the researchprocess on the Web platform. WRSS are based onthe assembling, integration, and adaption of existing computertechnology and information systems for the purpose ofresearch support. A framework of WRSS is presented by focusingon research activities and phases, as well as the technologysupport needed. The emphasis is on the conceptualformulation of WRSS. Different systems are linked to variousresearch activities, and a pool of support sub-systemsis established. As an illustrative example, Web-based informationretrieval support systems (WIRSS) are discussed.The results of WRSS may lead to new and viable researchtools.
