What is Inkspot?
Inkspot hosts scientific software as services to support research, collaboration and commercialisation by scientists active in any area of science, in any part of the world. Inkspot provides secure hosting for specialised content including data, software, workflows, publications, media, events and projects. Scientists can analyse their data, automate common tasks and share some or all of their work. They can record their progress in notebooks and publish their work on-line or conventionally.
They can work entirely in private, collaborate with trusted colleagues or publish openly, as and when they choose. Scientists get access to extensive specialist scientific data and software services at very low cost and without needing to set up and maintain their own systems. They have complete control over what and when to share and with digital signing can establish ownership and authorship priority for publication or patenting.
Store your results with total confidence. Access from wherever you are working, whenever you need to. Access more storage and computing when you need it without having to worry about setting up and maintaining your own systems.
Analyse and visualise your data in ways that make sense to you and which can easily be repeated or adapted as your understanding develops. Record your ideas and understanding in the notebook as you work. Gather information and results from the literature alongside your own. Access a wide range of sophisticated software systems at very low cost and with us taking care of the maintenance.
Automate common tasks as workflows to reduce repetition and increase your research output. Design, store, re-use and adapt these workflows to save time and ensure reproducibility.
Work in private or share some or all of your work with trusted colleagues or with the whole world through fine control of who sees what and when. Communicate your ideas and results, when and to whom you wish to make connections, find new collaborators and build your reputation. Protect the timeline of your work by digital signature.
