Research is not always solitary. Sometimes it is necessary to complete research in a group or team environment.

If you are interested in collaborating with people conducting similar research to you, you can find information about researchers using the following platforms:
|
Run a search using keywords relating to your research topic to find details on researchers investigating the topic you have chosen. As LinkedIn, ResearchGate and Academia.edu are all social networking sites, communicating with other researchers can be easy through direct messaging. Scopus and Web of Science will provide you with affiliation and sometimes email details to contact relevant researchers.
When working in a group, it is important to have a platform where you can share your research. Below are some tools that can help enhance the collaborative research experience:
The Microsoft Suite provides many cloud-based applications such as OneDrive to allow for easy sharing of data/information. These applications can be downloaded from IT Software and Tools.
Citation Management Programs like EndNote, Mendeley and Zotero allow you to share reference libraries. EndNote can be downloaded from IT Software and Tools.
The Open Science Framework is a free, open site that includes areas for collaboration, sharing and publishing research.
Collaborative writing tools include Google Docs (for document sharing) and Overleaf (a collaborative LaTex editor).
