But
there are others. No agreed upon content or knowledge
classification method has emerged. Some web sites (such as
Suite101) use the Dewey decimal system. Others invented and
implemented systems of their making. Additionally, one click
publishing technology (such as Webseed's or Blogger's) came to
be identified strictly to non-scholarly material: personal
reminiscences, correspondence, articles and news.
Enter Scindex and its Academic Resource Channel. Established
by academics and software experts from Bulgaria, it epitomizes
the tearing down of geographical barriers heralded by the
Internet. But it does much more than that. Scindex is a whole,
self-contained, stand-alone, instant self-publishing and self-
assembly system. Self-publishing systems do exist (for
instance, Purdue University's) - but they incorporate only
certain components. Scindex covers the whole range.
Having (freely) registered as a member, a scientist or a
scholar can publish their papers, essays, research results,
articles and comments online. They have to submit an abstract
and use Sciendex's classification ("call") numbers and science
descriptors, arranged in a massive directory available in the
"RealSci Locator".
