Olivier H. Beauchesne has created an interactive map which shows the international collaboration of scientists only about the world. The map plots the connections betwixt scientists as well as researchers inward unlike cities every bit seen inward scientific journals as well as papers ("for example, if a UCLA researcher published a newspaper alongside a colleague at the University of Tokyo, this would practise an trial of collaboration betwixt Los Angeles as well as Tokyo").
The Map of Scientific Collaboration reveals how scientists collaborate across borders only about the world. As Beauchesne notes it every bit good reveals some interesting patterns inside private countries. For illustration Paris seems to play a key business office inward French science. No affair where scientists alive or operate inward French Republic they all appear to collaborate alongside some other scientist inward Paris. In comparing the Britain seems to convey a less centralized scientific network. This is maybe a trial of the major Oxbridge universities beingness located exterior of London.
Ironically, despite the global collaboration of scientists demonstrated inward the Map of Scientific Collaboration, most people only about the Blue Planet won't genuinely last able to read the scientific papers from which the map was created. Unless they know nearly Sci-Hub.
Sci-Hub is an online repository of pirated scientific academic papers as well as articles. It allows researchers as well as students to access expensive pay-walled academic content. Content that is commonly alone available from expensive academic mag publishers. This pay-walled arrangement tin last prohibitively expensive, peculiarly for struggling students as well as researchers from developing countries. It has been claimed that the popularity of Sci-Hub inward countries such every bit India, Indonesia, Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as Islamic Republic of Iran proves that Sci-Hub is providing access to scientific inquiry to those who wouldn't otherwise last able to afford it.
In an article on the Science website, Who's Downloading Pirated Papers?, John Bohannon has created an interactive map showing where pirated scientific academic papers as well as articles convey been downloaded from Sci-Hub only about the world. In club to brand the map Bohannon contacted Alexandra Elbakyan, the Sci-Hub creator, to asking the geographic place of every user who has downloaded an academic newspaper from Sci-Hub. In club to protect the privacy of Sci-Hub users the information was aggregated to the nearest city.
