Collaborative and Distributed E-Research: Innovations in Technologies, Strategies and Applications

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.
