is most of the research performed by my group is related to applied sustainability, we use Appropedia (

tp://www.appropedia.org/
), which is the primary site for collaborative solutions in sustainability, poverty reduction
and international development on the Internet. There are equivalent types of wikis developed in other disciplines for
research focuses that may be appropriate for your group. I recommend using the closest fit with largest user base you
can find as such a wiki will provide the greatest feedback and support for your research.

We use
academia.edu
although there are many other sites including repositories at many institutions themselves. For
open access to all our papers whose copyright restrictions allow it, see
htp://mtu.academia.edu/JoshuaPearce
. One
interesting feature of academia.edu is that it provides access to Google Analytics for your papers, which enables you
to see what search terms people use to find your articles, what sites they come from and what country they are from.
It is interesting to note that despite university sites being highly ranked in Google indexing since we have been mon-
itoring our “sources of reads”, Appropedia has consistently outperformed our institutional publication page.

he h-index atempts to measure both the productivity and impact of a scientist's publications. It is computed as
follows: h-index is the largest number h, such that h publications have at least h citations. The h-index is often used as
a tool by commitees in determining tenure at many universities.

A
nyone who has done any collaborating with other academics at smaller universities or in the developing world
knows how difficult simple access to the literature can be for some academics. Access to the complete body of up-to-
date peer-reviewed literature is extremely expensive and even top research universities do not normally carry every
journal in specific subfields.
