A Study On Platform Construction For Web2.0-based Interactive Community Of Scientific Researchers

Virtual academic community is a strong complement to the traditional communicationmodel of scientific research, which has integrated scientific activity and network platform andfully met scientific researchers’ needs of academic information exchange and knowledgesharing in the network environment. It became very popular among academics when appearedand then gradually developed into a new trend of the academic and scientific researchexchanges. However, the existing virtual academic communities have some inadequacies,such as the situation of single technical support for interaction between members, lack ofknowledge sharing and scientific research collaboration among researchers. These problemshave restricted the efficient conduct of scientific research and exchange activities to someextent. As a comprehensive reform of the Internet, Web2.0has created a new era of“user-participation”. The Web2.0’s theories of taking individual consumer as centre, its focuson users’ involvement and interaction, and the social softwares and technologies it supportedprovide strong support for the community of scientific researchers accomplishing interactivity,sharing, openness, autonomy and collaboration. Therefore, point to the obstacles of researchinteraction, the paper presents a platform frame model of interactive community of scientificresearchers by integrating Web2.0’s theories and technologies into the construction ofresearch community.The main contents of the research are as follows:First of all, the background, purpose and significance of this research are elaborated;Based on the relevant literature of the web2.0-based information services for scientificresearch, the knowledge sharing of virtual community and the virtual academic community athome and broad, this article analysis the strengths and shortcomings of the current virtualresearch platforms, discuss the meeting point of Web2.0and interactive community ofscientific researchers, and then put forward a construction concept of the Interactivecommunity of scientific researchers. The theories of group dynamics, social constructivism,distributed cognition, knowledge management provide theoretical instructions to theconstruction of this platform.Secendly, according to the main types of the platform participants, the thesis defines theroles and relationships of knowledge sharers, and identifies the demands and influencingfactors of scientific researchers’ knowledge sharing. Then, through the research of scientificresearchers’ collaborative knowledge production, its realization mechanism can be achieved.Thirdly, the paper presents a platform frame model of Interactive community ofscientific researchers by applying the theories and technologies after the construction target of this platform being determined. This research divides the platform into three main modules,including personal space module, collaborative and communication space module andmanagement module, among which the various functions of personal space module,collaborative and communication space module is studied in detail.Finally, using “the Small Wood Worm BBS” as an example, the paper analysis itsadvantages and disadvantages to show the practical significance of the study on platformconstruction for Web2.0-based interactive community of scientific researchers.
