ScholarMate (Chinese: 科研之友; pinyin: kē yán zhī yǒu) is a professional research social network platform.
ScholarMate's goal is to make research easy by encouraging people to collaborate, communicate and share information on the platform.
Registered users can easily share their publications with their peers so as to create impact and increase citations using the research social network platform.
It has been integrated with the Internet-based Science Information System (ISIS) to provide reliable research outputs for project management in NSFC.
Since 2010, several government funding agencies have used the SIE for finding experts and for supporting the workflow of R&D project management, including Department of Science and Technology in Shaanxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Hainan, etc.
