3.Virtual Research Environment: 

A Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is a collaborative, technology-enabled workspace that provides researchers with integrated digital tools, services, and resources to support the entire research lifecycle. It enables geographically dispersed researchers to work together by offering functionalities such as data storage and sharing, computational resources, workflow management, communication tools, and access to digital libraries or repositories. Some examples are as following:

a)OpenDreamKit:Open digital research environment toolkit for the advancement of Mathematics

https://opendreamkit.org/

b)VRE4EIC: 

Virtual Research Environments for Europe 1st Cluster (or a system similarly named), representing a coordinated European-level initiative focused on virtual research environments—collaborative platforms that integrate data, tools, computing resources, and services to facilitate scientific research.

4.Collaborative Writing Platforms: 

Collaborative Writing Platforms are digital tools or online environments that allow multiple users to create, edit, and manage written content together in real time or asynchronously. These platforms are designed to support teamwork, knowledge sharing, and version control, making them widely used in academic research, education, business, and publishing. Some examples are as following

a)Overleaf:https://www.overleaf.com/

b)Authorea:https://www.authorea.com/

c)Fiduswriter:https://www.fiduswriter.org/

d)ShareLatex:https://cs.sharelatex.com/

e)GoogleDocs:https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/

5.Post Publishing Collaborative Writing Tools: 

Post-Publishing Collaborative Writing Tools refer to digital platforms or applications that support collaboration, discussion, revision, and enhancement of scholarly or creative works after they have been formally published or shared publicly. Unlike traditional collaborative writing tools (e.g., Google Docs, Overleaf, Authorea) used before and during the writing process, post-publishing tools enable authors, peers, and communities to continue engaging with the text in ways that improve, update, or expand it.Some examples are as following:

a)Publons:https://publons.com/

b)PubPeer:https://www.pubpeer.com/login

6.Reference Management and Discovery Tools:

 Reference Management and Discovery Tools are essential components in academic research, helping scholars, students, and librarians handle large volumes of information efficiently.Some examples are as following:

a)Zotero:https://www.zotero.org/

b)Citavi:https://www.researchgate.net/

c)Mendeley:https://www.mendeley.com/

d)Bibsonomy:https://www.bibsonomy.org/

e)Hypothes.is: https://web.hypothes.is/

f)PaperHive:https://paperhive.org/

7. Academic Social Networks:

Academic Social Networks (ASNs) are online platforms designed specifically for researchers, scholars, and academics to share their work, collaborate, and build professional connections within the academic community. They function like social networking sites (e.g., Facebook or LinkedIn) but are tailored to the needs of research, teaching, and scholarly communication.Some examples are as following:

a)ResearchGagte:https://www.researchgate.net/

b)Academia.edu:https://www.academia.edu/
