Dancing to the tune of fourth paradigm
The world has entered a “fourth paradigm” which is more collaborative, more computational, and more data intensive than the previous experimental, theoretical, and computational paradigms. This emerging scientific paradigm is often referred to as e-science or e-research. The current study focuses on...
