History of the Research Cooperative
The Research Cooperative was established in 2001 as an not-for-profit initiative. Our first network, The Research Cooperative NZ, operated successfully for seven years, using an open-source system customised by Dr Cees Lensink (Webcase, NZ).
Our new network is based on a generic social-networking system provided by Ning.com, and offers better security and better communication tools for our members and visitors.
See our introduction in English for further information on the aims and history of the network.
The top logo of our network shows two figures sitting back to back, in red. I made the following version on 30th April 2011 after seeing a great Paul Klee exhibition in Kyoto, where I live.

I'm back in the land of gabi - the plant I love to study.
I won't have much chance this time to see the plants though. I'm heading away to Baguio City for a three-day conference. I'll try to hand out some brochures about the Research Cooperative, but the main focus of the conference will be systematics and ethnobiology.

I disagree; I have identified ScienceDomain International as a predatory publisher. I think their new gimmicks are unprofessional and may present conflicts of interest to develop and thrive. Thie publisher has always used deception to make it appear more successful and legitimate than it really is. --Jeffrey Beall
