If you are asking about pure academic and scientific results and article, then it is in deed available on many platform and trusted websites like:
www.scimagjr.com
and many others, of course such sites are very useful and powerful for postgraduate students, researchers, academicians and other colleagues, I recommend your idea and question.
Compiling and preserving research information in both national and global levels have become a common practice in much of the world today. As such, the number of abstract and article data bases are increasing day by day. Such data bases are beneficial in two different but complementary ways.First of all, they create a useful data bank and serve as a source of feedback for interested researchers across the world. Second, they pave the ground for collaboration and coordination in different areas of research so that researchers can keep abreast of the latest developments in their areas of interest.
Before doing so, you need to think about protection of the copyright of the authors. It is like Internet on which any one can upload and cut and past the others work. Transparency is good but that should not be misused. Idea is not bad but implementation may go bad.
The EndNote reference software database stores references on the cloud and can share with other scholars. As a minimum, the frequency with which an article is cited indicates its potential reference value. I am beginning to network my ideas using these shared references. I continue to learn the value as I do research. I am just learning about doing this but it seems like a valuable direction. Good luck! Cheers, [email protected]
Global database mean is a international information bank of conclusion of articles,so when you refer to that databa, you find results or conclusion of another researchers. I am trying transfer my opinion.
Very much important for researcher by means of saving time cost through preventing duplication and consequently more scientific progress and development
OK thank you very much for clarification, but I think that, it is very difficult mission! due to the huge number of scientific fields and specialties all over the world, and it is better to divide our academic world into partitions to ease control process on such task.
Research is all about INNOVATION, NOVELTY, and ORIGINALITY of ideas to fill NEW and YEARNING NEEDS of mankind in institutions and societies. It is filling an ACADEMIC VACUUM that IMPROVES THE STATE of MAN. Therefore, a global database that let you identify with ease, what have been done already in the field you intend digging to solve a problem would be worthwhile. It would save a lot of resources (time and money). It would help in eradicating RESEARCH WORKS that are MERE REPITTITIVE OF EXISTING SOLUTIONS WITHOUT OFFERING ANY NEW INSIGHTS TO OUR CURRENT PROBLEMS.
However, such a global database must be well-designed, easy and user-friendly. If it calls for creating various apps for the numerous disciplines and fields of study to ease its use, it would be the best. Best regards
I think that a key problem with such an "OVERALL" database will be - the search algorithm.
And I am sure - that to create a reasonable algorithm of search - in the nearest future won't be possible.
As a result - the use of such a database - will most often lead to failure or confusion.
Good example of the aforesaid are the libraries of FTIR Spectra.
Namely, with the advent of computer-assisted of spectrometers an opportunity to create such a libraries has appeared. Indeed, what can be simpler than the
ever received spectra - to unite all in digital form.(?!) Soon after that
there appeared "specialized libraries", for example: of spectra of : "Varnishes and Paints", "Polymers", Fire-retardants", "Surfactants".. etc.
The idea was very attractive at least for the companies which are releasing such libraries. Indeed, each of them cost usually 5-10% of the price of the spectrometer itself ! . However the search algorithm
still remains so rectilinear and clumsy that probability of success
makes at best no more than 3-5%.
It seems to me that the general library of data could make success if
it would be broken into subsections. But such information already exists -
The collection of data is the heritage of any kind of research. The beauty of the research is to gather data and compare with the already published data to figure out the highlights and novelty of the research.
This is the way how the new technologies are said to be advanced and new things are coming in the market.
