Final Report

Tuesday 15 December 2009 at 5:20 pm Academic paper collaboration is a large space involving many different researchers, collaborators, and reviewers. The paper-writing process involves many different major steps: choosing topics and collaborators, writing grant proposals, conducting research, writing/editing papers, and submitting the paper to journals for review. Team Fresh City decided to focus on the edits-and-revisions aspect of paper collaboration.

Technical and non-technical professors communicate edits and revisions through a number of different means: e-mail, phone, comments within a paper, MS Word track changes, SVN, etc. These communication methods frequently are unlinked to the physical paper. Keeping track of the ideas and problems that need to be fixed can become disorganized, especially given the busy life of faculty members. Currently, there is no program that centralizes collaborators and their communication about the paper.
