How can the development of new online media improve communication between collaborating researchers on an international scale?
The involvement of Internet information technologies, new media for the development of international contacts between scientists improves the logistics of information flow, but does not ensure success in this international cooperation. Online new information media are just a tool that can be used in a variety of ways. Even if Internet technologies of new media are effectively used and advanced information processing technologies are developed, ie typical of the current Industry 4.0 technological revolution, it is still not possible to eliminate all negative aspects, threats and risks resulting from the growing involvement of new online news media to information activities, marketing, research, business and other.
For example, it is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of information transfer on the Internet, including information frauds and deliberate manipulation of information posted on internet information portals and social media portals, information transfer via e-mail etc. carried out by hackers and cybercriminals that break into IT systems of institutions public, financial and business, intercepting and stealing information, making financial embezzlement after hacking into online banking systems.
The most important determinant of the development of international contacts between scientists and researchers are people, their needs in establishing and developing international research teams, including the awareness of the possibility of creating added value, understanding and respect for other cultures and systems of the organization, the need for internationalization of previously determined locally and nationally developed research topics, etc.
On the other hand, social media portals operate as part of the development of new online media. Some information and / or social media portals enable communication between scientists and offer specific information services profiled on scientific issues, research, etc. One of such websites is the Research Gate portal.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
How can the development of new online media improve communication between collaborating researchers on an international scale?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much

Undoubtedly, internet has revolutionized scholarly communication - research collaborations happen more seamlessly and there is virtually no time delay when scientists communicate with one another (compare this with research in the non-internet era where researchers would wait for sometimes months for letters to reach them; a famous mathematician (Erdos) used to ''live in the suitcase'' as he would travel and stay with his co-authors before moving to the next destination). Having said this, an empirical study done by me has found that geographical proximity still matters in the age of internet - there is still a lot of research happening between individuals who see one another more frequently and there is more physical nearness between them.
Dear Dr. Dariusz Prokopowicz
With all The goodness of communication technology development, academics connection enhancement count as a major benefit for the following reasons:
1. Let scientists be aware of the latest scientific interests either pan the world nor in their major.
2. Give the possibilities to follow up on the literature review for their researches.
3. Decrease the time consumption for checking worldwide indexes and libraries.
4. Serve the exchange of expertise by video conferences and overseas participation in online sessions.
5. Motivate the scientists to have effective participation in global events by keep them updated with the global events calendar for gatherings and conferences.
6. Create respectful norms of scientific contribution by comparing their works with their colleagues from the world-ranked institutions.
And many other benefits reflected from the development of Internet communication improvement between cooperating scientists on an international scale.
Sameer's and Ahmad 's response and the points mentioned within are potent . Yet Sameer's man in suitcase is still valid as data collection, sharing and conclusive part would require physical nearness. Theoretical and research perspectives on global aspects along with resources can be developed and shared online but the data and conclusive part would require proximity for reliability and validity purposes. I drew this when two RG scholars visited me in person to my country for the data part.
Can the development of darknet seriously jeopardize the development of new information technologies on the Internet? Can darknet development seriously jeopardize the development of new online news media? To what extent does the darknet development use the development of new online information media? What is your opinion in this topic?
