In the past when you wanted to do research you had to rely on books (hard copies) and on the library or libraries. You had to spend your time there, digging in books. While libraries and books are still important, nowadays there are digital (Internet) sources available which you can consult independent of time and location. And there are platforms to publish your work such as Research Gate and Mendeley. And there are preprint services as arxiv.org. and scientific search engines such as Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic. There are digital tools for cooperation such as Slack. But on the Internet there will be more.
Can anyone help to find which digital sources are available, which digital tools to cooperate and platforms to publish your work?
There are numeous lists of such sources (though, as with all lists, they may not be kept up-to-date); examples include (in no particular order):

I have not used this one for long but I find it promising:
https://www.jisc.ac.uk/content/open-access
However, I have used these two and they contain many resources and opportunities for publishing:

Abdelmajid Bouziane do these platforms work?

Would you suggest them to other people and what you used them form? Do you still use them. Are there comparable sites as far as you know?
Hi Keith Jones , have you used some of them yourself and if so what is your experience?
They do but I have used them for searching articles. However, you can publish on them.
Opendoar runs using DSpace that your institution installs on its server. If your institution has a DSpace repository, you can ask the administrator of your server to create an account for so that you can publish there.
Doaj has a search engine that looks into the thousands of journals it contains but the publication should be done through the journals in it.
