My entrepreneurial ideas--Open Research Platform

While Wikipedia is a platform for collaborative writing, Open Research Platform(ORP) is a platform for collaborative research.

ORP is composed of an increasing number of research projects. A project has one creator, one goal, and unlimited participants or researchers.

An entry of a research project includes creator, creation time, title, goal, significance, background, current research achievement and main part.

The main part is somewhat like a thread on an online forum in its simplest form. Participant can propose a statement, argue or defend a statement by providing convincing argumentation or proofs. The entire process of research to reach the common goal is an intellectual relay. The research process is done collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. It is to draw on collective wisdom and absorb all useful ideas. It is to put heads together so as to get better results.
