Research Software from Oxford University Scientists

We would like to introduce you to the solution we developed, colwiz – collective wizdom, free software designed to accelerate the pace of innovation and increase overall research productivity.
Using colwiz web, desktop, iPhone, iPad and Android Apps, researchers can:
  • Search publications on Google Scholar, PubMed and 30+ other search engines, automatically find PDFs and take notes, write articles with citations and bibliographies.
  • Make to-do lists, collaborate on research tasks, and schedule journal clubs, conferences and deadlines.
  • Store, backup and share research data and files.
  • Create groups, invite other researchers to collaborate through shared publications, calendars, tasks, documents and discussion areas.
  • Manage multiple research projects across departmental, institutional and geographical boundaries.
  • Organise their research lives, from initial idea, through complex collaborations, to publication of the results.
Colwiz is designed for individual and collaborative research and used by researchers from around the globe. Our website (www.colwiz.com) and video (www.colwiz.com/videos) explain how graduate students writing their theses and research groups working on complex collaborative projects will find it equally useful.
