Interdisciplinary application of experimental social software to the study of narrative in digital contexts

电子环境已经改变了学术研究人员可用的资源，最近在合作和新型知识管理领域。该项目评估了一系列实验性软件工具，以发现它们是否提供了有价值的非常规机会，以连接广泛不同学科的研究人员，并检查它们如何支持创新合作，例如共享书目资源。该研究将侧重于数字背景下的叙事研究，但研究结果预计将对广泛的研究人员有用。

The electronic environment has transformed the resources available to the academic researcher, most recently in the area of collaboration and new kinds of knowledge management. This project evaluates a selection of experimental software tools to discover whether they offer valuable unconventional opportunities to connect researchers across widely-differing disciplines and to examine how they might support innovative collaborations, such as shared bibliographical resources. The study will focus on the study of narrative within a digital context but findings are expected to be of use to a wide range of researchers.
