Each Group has its own web page with integrated shared features, including: Library, Drive, as well as a discussion panel. The colwiz Web interface provides users with a free platform to collaborate on research projects and events in Groups. The Drive also serves as a backup for colwiz Library metadata and personal file storage. Users can upload files, which can then be shared with a group, project or event, by dragging and dropping to the appropriate folder. The colwiz Drive is a cloud storage application which lets users store, share and manage their files. Users can get extra storage up to 30GB by inviting colleagues. The free account allows users to add 5000 reference entries and 2GB of free storage for PDF files. An integrated Interactive PDF Reader allows users to take notes and highlight the article directly in the PDF, making any such annotations shareable and searchable. Users can add notes, links, article and other supporting files to each reference in their colwiz Library they can also edit reference details if required. New research articles can be found with the in-built search engine, which provides users direct access to references from over 30 different databases and file repositories (including ISI Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus). The colwiz Import Wizard can automatically add publications to colwiz Library from other common reference libraries (including reference only from EndNote whereas references and PDFs from Mendeley and Zotero) or individually from folders, supporting several different file formats (e.g. Articles can be archived in the Library in customisable folders. The colwiz Library is an application that allows users to find, read, annotate, save and share research articles. Joint ventures with Royal Society Publishing, and Taylor & Francis, saw release of the colwiz HTML5 Interactive PDF Reader in December 2013. A day later, colwiz officially came out of beta and entered the public domain. The beta phase culminated with the announcement of a collaborative partnership between colwiz and ACS, and the launch of colwiz-powered ACS Chemworx and ACS Active View PDF, on 27 March 2013. During the beta testing colwiz gathered feedback from the research community and worked on developing industry partnerships. colwiz entered Isis Innovation Software Incubator in March 2011, and launched the first version of the software in private beta, available to researchers in British and US universities. History Ĭolwiz was conceived by Tahir Mansoori ( CEO and Founder), during his doctoral research in computational biology at the University of Oxford. In 2017, after collaborating together for several years, Colwiz was acquired by Taylor & Francis. In December 2013, colwiz partnered with Royal Society Publishing and Taylor & Francis to launch HTML5 Interactive PDF Reader, which allows researchers to annotate and save PDF articles directly from the publishers' website. At the same time, colwiz powered the launch of ACS ChemWorx, a virtual research environment for more than 200,000 ACS members worldwide. In March 2013, colwiz announced a development partnership and strategic investment from the American Chemical Society ( ACS), the world's largest scientific society. Following private beta testing, colwiz was launched to public in March 2013, and is now being used globally in research-based companies and institutions including: GlaxoSmithKline, P&G, IBM, Philips, Disney Research, as well as numerous top-tier universities. In 2011, colwiz entered into Oxford University's Isis Software Incubator and won the University’s Challenge Seed Fund (UCSF). colwiz incorporates reference management, collaboration and networking tools, as well as productivity features. Reference Management, Collaboration, Productivity, SocialĬolwiz ( collective wizdom) is a free web, desktop and mobile based research management software, designed by researchers from the University of Oxford.
