The Center for Information Management and Scientific Communication

The institute will create repositories of information of particular interest to one or more research disciplines, make the information accessible to interested parties, and foster improvements in scientific communication. We will develop and apply analysis and organization methods to create decision support systems for the individual disciplines. The Center activities will advance the science of information analysis and organization, improve the research capabilities of research disciplines, and engage students in research and communication activities.
