Overview
Technology has made it possible to conduct research and form research groups that are not limited by geographic location. The field of Collaborative and Distributed E-Research (CDER) studies this phenomenon, specifically focusing on the use of the Internet and Information Technology (IT) to develop international and distributed scientific research. Collaborative and Distributed E-Research: Innovations in Technologies, Strategies and Applications offers insight into practical and methodological issues related to collaborative e-research and furthers our understanding of current and future trends in online research and the types of technologies involved. This book provides a useful foundation for academics and professionals involved in Collaborative and Distributed E-Research, collaborative software development, and computer-supported collaborative work.
