Scholarly
Communications Lifecycle
Collecting and analyzing data, authoring, publishing, and
preserving information are all essential components of the
everyday work of researchers – with collaboration and search
and discovery at the heart of the entire process. We’re
supporting that scholarly communication life cycle with
free software tools to improve interoperability with
existing tools used commonly by academics and scholars
to better meet their research needs.
Microsoft researchers partnered with academia throughout
the development of these tools to obtain input on the
application of technology to the needs of the academic
community, while Microsoft product groups submitted feedback
on how the company’s technology could optimally address the
entire research process. The collective efforts resulted in
the first wave of many tools designed to support academics
across the scholarly communication life cycle.

Microsoft External Research has a
history of supporting groundbreaking research, supporting
approximately 400 research projects worldwide last year
alone. One area of particular focus has been parallel
computing, as exemplified by the creation of a Joint
Research Centre with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center,
and two Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers in
partnership with Intel, the University of California,
Berkeley, and the University of Illinois in the past year.
Furthering Microsoft’s efforts to unlock the potential of
multicore processing, this group is providing $1.5 million
to seven academic research projects as part of the Safe and
Scalable Multicore Computing Program, with the goal of
stimulating impactful research in multicore software.
