Lumifi is a collaborative research tool. It allows researchers to file and organize their research in one easy to use, and accessible location. Think of it as a communal filing cabinet. Information can be archived and organized into virtual notebooks. Notes and annotations can be made by all included members. There’s a history tab allows you to see all your activities along with those of your group. All research can be easily exported to the web or a word document. Besides that, Lumifi also aids in the actual research process. It has integrated a search tool which allows users not only to sift and search through their own notes and notebooks, but also the web. You can select which results you want to save and where. All data and results are base on relevancy. There’s a virtual highlighter for marking pertinent info and clipping it to be saved to your notebooks. Registration is free.

“Lumifi’s interactive research platform, developed specifically for the academic and research communities, represents a major advancement in web and document research technology. At the heart of lumifi is its Synapse engine, a proprietary software platform that finds connections and relationships between words. By aggregating and analyzing these relationships, lumifi technology produces highly targeted, contextual insight that is not possible with traditional indexing or search applications.
The lumifi research and collaboration portal is a tool to make your research process easier and more efficient than ever.”

| Why it might be a killer | |||
|
|
|
Lumifi provides a thoughtful and effective collaborative research tool. It’s easy to pull in data and organize amongst a group. Most notable is the search function which is key for not only finding information in your notebooks, but also for finding relevant information on the web.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
This is a good start but it needs work. There’s no option to collate all your research and start editing it into an article or outline. There’s no tool for creating a bibliography. The version history is not comprehensive and users aren’t able to pull in emails or chat.

| Glad to hear the upload is working. BTW, unlike search engines, the more words you type into your web research query, the more robust your results set will be. | ||
