Abstract:
An Internet-based personalized, online, scientific interface is described, operating from at least a proprietary web server connected to the Internet for sending display images produced at the web server from any software application to a client web browser. The interface is personalized and includes, in addition to providing a gateway to different information databases, a search function, an archiving function, a specific bookmark function, an access to uploaded abstracts, and a personalized area. The interface includes a tool for upload, creation, venue presentation, and highly interactive web delivery presentation of a scientific paper or a poster by an author, linked with an internal tool for reviewing, accepting, and grading submitted abstracts for review. Within the personalized page, the interface includes a management tool for all abstracts uploaded to the interface, a follow-up tool and a system for managing the academic currency associated with the uploaded presentations including the capacity to produce feedback report associated with comments and viewing statistics. A digital presentation system allows attendees to comment on specific slides of presentations, have live or deferred communications with the presenter, rate the presentation, and even archive part or all of the presentation in the interface for later retrieval.
