Enhancing Research Efficiency through Collaborative Projects
Co-authorship is a collaborative approach to research that involves two or more individuals contributing to a scholarly work. This partnership not only allows researchers to pool their expertise and resources but also enhances the quality and depth of the final output.
The Projects section of the SCiNiTO platform, as its name implies, is intended for creating both personal and collaborative projects with other researchers. This feature allows users to easily access bookmarks and notes created within a specific project. By centralizing important information and resources, researchers can streamline their workflow and ensure that all team members are on the same page.
When you navigate to the Projects page in SCiNiTO, you will have access to the following items:
- Unassigned Bookmarks: If you have bookmarked an article but have not assigned it to a specific project, it will appear in this section. By clicking on this area, you will be directed to the page containing all your unassigned bookmarks, where you will find all the functionalities available for the article results. For more details about how to explore an article, visit Exploring Article. In this section, you can either assign the bookmarked article to a project or remove it completely.
- Search Box: The Search Box allows you to easily find the specific project you are looking for among all the projects you have created or those in which you are collaborating.
- Sort: The Sort option allows you to organize your projects based on their creation dates, enabling you to arrange them from oldest to newest or vice versa.
- Projects: At the bottom of the page, you can see the projects that you have created or collaborated on. Each project includes the following items:
- Project title
- Creation date
- Modified date
- Number of bookmarks assigned to that project
- The users who have either created the project or been invited to participate in it

How to Invite or Remove a Member from a Project
To add or remove a member from a project, click on the three-dot icon next to the project to navigate to the Edit Project page. In this section, under the Members part, you can view the current members of the project. If you wish to remove a member, click the X button next to their name. To add a member, you can search for their name, email, or username in the members' box, find the individual, and click on their name to add them to your research project. By adding a member to a project, they receive an email notifying them that a user has invited them to the project. This email includes a link to the project, allowing them to easily join by clicking on it.
Note: The individuals you wish to invite to collaborate in your research must be registered in your organization beforehand.
Note: There are differences between projects that you have created and projects that you have been added to. When you create a project, you have the ability to delete it, add notes to it, add or remove members from the project, and edit the project. However, when you join a project, you are only allowed to bookmark resources for that project or add notes to it.
