Now, not only publications, but alsodata sources are ‘exploding’
Search and global collaboration withnon-digital media is not efficient, anymore.

Competition is global and efficiency is key! A growing long-tail raises a challenge forresearch funding (and business sponsors)
popularity
topics
Increase of new, user-centric and opportunities
How can we improve this?
Increase networking capacity, knowledge management, and
improve scientific communication (on multiple levels)

Collaborative literature management also increases findability
Do you still believe your publications geta constant attention?
Angewandte Chemie, 2011. DOI 10.1002/anie.201007335
Every connection adds and measures value

Note: A publication is just one form of
communication and knowledge we
need to manage

There's a Mitsunobu inversion, via thiophenol, which occurs on a brutally hindered tertiary alcohol, which is certainly not something I'd expect to happen, or count on midwaythrough a thirty-odd step route.… But according to Rychnovsky, the published structure for the natural product has to be wrong!
The Hexacyclinol showdown! The power of science 2.0
Like almost every other chemistry journalist and blogger at the ACS meeting, I spent Wednesday afternoon at the "Total Synthesis of Complex Molecules" symposium, or as I’d come to think of it: "The Hexacyclinol Showdown.“!

Growth tips – Break down the silosMake use of semantic crowd-sourcing
• http://reflect.ws “social” curation of content
• Mashups increase efficiency and decreases “discovery costs” Semantic web
For an efficient „digital“ communicationA training for scientists is a recommended strategy.
