Nanopolis releases new publication protocol for authors

Nanopolis, the e-collaborative multimedia producer exclusively dedicated to nano-bio-technology, has released a new protocol that easily guides the scientific contributors through the editorial tool. It makes possible the creation, follow up, validation and publication of multimedia animations in the nano-bio-technology field.

This tutorial called "How to publish with Nanopolis" explains in a very descriptive way how to communicate -at no cost- the results of a scientific nanotechnology work in just seven steps. The procedure is explained using texts instructions and short demo clips, which present the progress of the creation process of a multimedia animation.

The scientific community is warmly invited to contact the Nanopolis team in order to get further information about this interactive publication process. Authors have now a fast tool to transpose the results of their research in a multimedia format and make them accessible to the Nanopolis and general audience.

Advantages for Authors

1. Nanopolis Authors receive a copy of the Nanopolis Multimedia Presentation for personal, non-commercial use.
2. Their Institute/University of origin becomes an Academic Partner of Nanopolis and get special discounts when ordering the Nanopolis educational products.
3. Nanopolis Authors are mentioned as a reference in the Nanopolis Multimedia Presentation they collaborated for as well as at the Nanopolis portal.

A Supportive partnership between TNTG and Nanopolis

This week The Nanotechnology Group and Nanopolis World of Knowledge (www.nanopolis.net) have established an agreement to offer special discounts to TNTG visitors on all Nanopolis products. The deal is based on a 10% off regular prices of the multimedia encyclopedia series of Nanopolis, an interactive multimedia producer dedicated exclusively to nano-bio-technology knowledge.

Every TNTG visitor may get now this discount when accessing the Nanopolis portal from www.tntg.org. The price reduction applies for the following multimedia encyclopedias (available in CD-ROM or downloadable format): 

Exploring Matter with Neutrons is a tool dedicated to neutron, resources and science, while offering numerous applications and facilities.

Exploring Nanotechnology provides an in depth understanding of nanostructure, nanofabrication, instruments, as well as many applications and head figures.

Exploring Matter with Synchrotron Light comprises light and matter interactions, exploration technology, and analysis methods. It also includes many applications and facilities.

Nanopolis Trilogy is a special package that contains the three multimedia encyclopedias already described.

Both companies are confident this strategy will motivate the interest for the nanotechnology key technical concepts while learning with multimedia animations.

Nanopolis has built a large collection of more than 3,000 e-learning pages, annotated color graphics and accompanying text, with buttons that adds labels to the graphics. The combination of color and movement with both text and optional labels helps in making these complex concepts easier to understand and a lot less boring to learn.

Students, professors, researchers, nanotechnology oriented companies and general public tempted by the nanotechnology area are invited to explore these websites and take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Nanopolis Spins-Off

iMediaSoft Group acquainted with the outstanding performance of one of its divisions, Nanopolis, the portal exclusively dedicated to multimedia in nanotechnology knowledge. It successfully turned into a self-supporting business and has recently been "spun-off" by the iMediaSoft Group. The new business established its headquarters in Bucharest, Romania to ensure transition with the iMediasoft staff that bring over ten years of know-how in interactive knowledge transfer solutions.

Dan Bog, the President of iMediaSoft Group, announced the commitment of the team to release the new Nanopolis generation during the first quarter of 2007. This consists of a more user friendly and interactive Online Multimedia Library as a tool that brings more flexibility to educators, such as allowing them to include more than 10,000 scientific validated animations into their Power Point live lectures, slides or other support documents, including the option of online auto-editing. Moreover, this would also be compatible with online evaluation and class management tools.

Based on a very advanced and up-to-date e-collaborative platform in the field of nano-biotechnology and science, Nanopolis has published more than 3,000 e-learning pages in the field of Synchrotron Light, Neutrons and Nanotechnology. This co-editorial procedure made possible the gathering of over 350 academic research groups.

The goals that Nanopolis is aiming for in 2007 are:

• Improve its interactive communication platform, dedicated to researchers who wish to represent their work through animations and graphics.

Nanopolis commits to offer free access to a transparent online system that will ensure the interaction between its collaborators in a timely manner.
The concept of a virtual project environment provides the user access to a peer group that comprises of a worldwide network of people sharing the same interest, who will review, validate and endorse the Nanopolis content. This electronic protocol for scientific validation of multimedia presentations is being developed in order to bring more validated opinions on each topic.

• “Exploring Nano-Biotechnology”

The next Nanopolis volume is being presently developed as an encyclopedia that will offer explanations of new and improved analytic techniques in biotechnology, deeper understanding of diseases, deciphering of cellular mechanisms and novel drug development techniques.
