Description: Le Scienze Web News - LSWN.it (started in August 2000) is located near Rome offers spaces in an innovative Web portal for the promotion of scientific research articles. This service is addressed to universities, research centres, enterprises that produce scientific instrumentation and in general products of practical scientific research applications. LSWN.it is interested in generating new commercial agreements by guaranteeing technical assistance. The scientific publishing enterprise is also looking for joint venture.

Description:

The main goal for LSWN.it(Italian SME) is to provide a high-quality editorial product that facilitates consultation for people who want to approach sciences in general - for work, for research or also just for passion. LSWN.it wants to make an important contribution to the diffusion of a serious scientific culture in our society by promoting the development of a learning and training tool addressed to enterprises, education institutes, research institutions, universities and SMEs’ research units.
All the contents will be edited and spread through the Web site through a CMS (Content Management System). A professional team of researchers and collaborators operating in the whole national and international territory will periodically publish news, press releases and in-depth examinations about current scientific topics. The users will be given the possibility to get concrete answers concerning their questions by direct intervention of experts who are able to reply to the various questions in all the different topics. This service is completely free of charge for the user.
Innovations and advantages of the offer:

The Web portal is realised in an innovative architecture of information, which is based on specific ontology and taxonomy to facilitate indexing of the contents from research engines. The published documents are classified in a) typologies (articles, releases, reports, dossiers), b) comprehension levels (3 grades: basic, medium, advanced) and c) languages (Italian and English) to help users during their consultation.

The main advantages are:

* Quickness (the contents are separated from the graphical structure of the Web site, which enables fast loading of the pages).
* User-friendliness (the structure is intuitive also for people who visit the Web site for the first time; the portal is designed for the user and no previous training is requested).
* Good structure (the contents are divided in macro-areas that are based on very rational criteria).
* Essential graphic design (colours and graphic elements are moderate to concentrate user’s attention on scientific contents).

Comments:

LSWN.it wants to generate new collaborations with industry, universities, scientific research centres and enterprises in scientific publishing and editing operating enterprises.

LSWN.it is particularly interested in getting in contact with enterprises that produce scientific instrumentation and with the following university departments: natural sciences, life sciences (biology, medicine, neurosciences), new technologies (robotics, ICT, cybernetics), aerospace (astronomy, astrophysics), chemistry, physics, archaeology (anthropology/ethnology).
Also collaborations with laboratories and scientific research centres such as CERN, ESA – European Space Agency, NSF - National Science Foundation are welcome.
LSWN.it aims at partnerships or joint ventures with other enterprises involved in scientific publishing.
Universities and research centres/Laboratories can provide material to be published on the portal to disseminate scientific research results and new technologies.
The scientific instrumentation producing enterprises can promote those among their products which have derived from practical application of scientific research.
