Scholarz.net - An Online Community Of Scholars

Self-defined as “a communication platform for academics”, this new initiative (out in public beta) is arranged by Ph.D students for Ph.D students and young graduates. On the site, you can learn about the life of any person who is engaged into academic activities such as teaching, writing and researching.

As it is the norm with social sites, you can invite your friends in an instant manner, and once you have created your own circle it is possible to interact with others in a straightforward way. You can upload files and archives to your own personal folder, and a sharing menu is there to make for a smooth time indeed.

A nice touch is that the site is available both in English and in Deutsch, effectively having a broader scope and outreach.

The site also deals with an interdisciplinary research project named “Scientific Work in the web 2.0”. In addition to that, a research software which goes by the name of “Scholarz.net” and which is developed by the team behind the network is being developed right now, and you can learn about it in the pertinent section.

“Scholarz.blog is a communication platform for academics. By Ph.D. students for Ph.D. students, post-docs, and young scientists.”

The academic pathway is not necessarily an easy one, and any resource that makes transiting it a suppler task is very welcome indeed.
