Last week, a new update was released for Profiles RNS, the open source research and collaboration tool created by Harvard Catalyst.
Profiles RNS automatically imports and analyses institutional research data to build and maintain a searchable database of individual public profiles, creating an effective social networking resource for research collaboration. Symplectic is an authorised service provider of Profiles RNS, and we’re excited to see its development continue with these new improvements.
