A community based search tool for life scientists was recently launched and can be found at [www.siphs.com]. Siphs aims to simplify the process of searching for relevant scientific content by leveraging the combined knowledge of researchers world wide.
Traditional information search tools rely upon cataloguing, indexing, and ranking a wide variety of scholarly sources found on the web. Unlike traditional search engines, Siphs search queries are tagged with “areas of expertise” and then distributed to scientists who are members of the Siphs community for review. The tool was designed by taking a clue from the offline world in that the most relevant search results can be found by asking the people with the right set of experiences. You can find more information on the tool at [www.siphs.com]
