American Institute of Physics Announces Social Networking for Researchers*

AIP UniPHY is social networking platform for physical scientists that is pre-populated with profiles of individual researchers based on their publication history. Users will find their colleagues’ research and will be able to follow a web of connections that shows each researcher involved in the project and their past collaborators.
Profiles include information such as the number of articles a person published in a given year, what specific fields these papers were in, and the number of co-author connections each has. If you are a researcher who has published at least two papers that are indexed in AIP’s SPIN database you will have a pre-populated profile which you can validate after registering at the site.
For more information or to validate or set up your profile, go to: http://www.aipuniphy.org/Portal/Portal.aspx
