I've just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things: - It displays academics around the world in a 'tree' format, according to what university/department they are affiliated with. - It enables researchers to keep track of the latest developments in their field - the latest people and papers. I'm hoping that the site will list every academic in the world -- Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students. It's gaining some traction. Some professors on the site include: - Richard Dawkins - http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins - Noam Chomsky - http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky - Stephen Hawking - http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking I'm trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu. If you have a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department on the tree. If your department/university is not there, you can add it/them by clicking on the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes. And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can. Many thanks, Richard Dr. Richard Price, Prize Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL [log in to unmask] http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice
