We often see how Research Gate discussion platform is used for asking questions, answers to which can be found either in the books or on the Internet. Alongside with that, we can observe that discussions on this platform bring forth new ideas and let us find new partners to conduct researches together. But we rarely consider this platform, connecting about 3 million researchers, to be means for initiating simultaneous large scale spatio-temporal comparative researches. I remember when, in pre-internet times, in a (probably US) school the students’ work on simultaneous observation of acid rains was organized. The work resulted in compiling an acid rain map that represented a vast territory. Now that Internet use has become a routine activity in everyday life all over the world, it has greatly expanded the possibilities for organizing such comparative researches. I strongly believe that members of the Research Gate community should take a view on the prospects for evidence gathering and launching comparative large-scale surveys of this kind. I’m referring to cases where data from modern technologies of information and communication (Internet) and GIS (remote sensing methods, satellite images analysis) can’t be used exclusively to conduct the research. If this resonates with your ideas and you have some ideas to share, I would like to know what type of specific tasks Research Gate potential can be used for. It may proceed to building up a scientific network teams for successful collective task solving.
