Research Portals

The internet has been playing an important role in promoting front-line and significant areas on Research and Development (R&D), in various disciplines of science and technology. Research portals online, focus on strengthening and monitoring evolving studies and their impact, in a number of areas for e.g. business and market, social science and law, health and medicine, product development, competitive intelligence, multimedia etc, through the dissemination and translation of knowledge, among thousands of internet users, across the world.

Pegasus InfoCorp has partnered with some world class, technology – driven, research institutes globally, for providing quality research through web based research portals, facilitating access to resources and services as well as remote exchanges and collaboration.

Our research portals have enabled clients to publish ideas and information, making it possible for easy, instant access to a vast and diverse amount of online information, for end users. And, unlike printed encyclopedias and classic libraries these research portals have enabled or accelerated new forms of human interaction such as online group discussions, instant messaging, research forums, data feeds etc.

For our research portals some of the very basic features that we generally focus on include:

• Discussion Forums
• Libraries and Data Repositories
• Information Sharing
• Chat Rooms and Conferences
• Instant Messaging
• White Board Collaborations
• Forums
• Live Seminars and Training
• Web Feeds
• Blogs and User Comments

In the last few years, an increasing number of scientists and research institutions have expressed an interest in using the World Wide Web as a tool for research. Some of the benefits of using research portals available on the web today are

• Research portals help in speeding up research on different subjects due to the easy availability of information on the portals.
• Information through research portals can be obtained at no or very low costs.
• Statistics and data on research portals can be used to add value to other methods of research.
• Multiple types of data sources and media are available for users.
• Anonymity or exposure of content providers, subscribers and participants can be controlled.
