Create Change Canada

By seamlessly linking data, knowledge, and scholars, the emerging research environment promises to stimulate and accelerate discovery — and ultimately to fuel advances beyond the realm of scholarship.

The new digital scholarship gives scholars the potential to collaborate in dynamic new ways:

• It facilitates interdisciplinary approaches to complex questions by breaking down information silos.
• It enables researchers located across multiple time zones to easily share information and work effectively as teams.
• It allows the rapid development of new or ad hoc communities of scholars to respond to pressing questions and challenges.
