Digital Scholarship
Why olfaction?
Olfaction provides a mechanism to model, monitor, and measure.
But how to examine research through large scale repositories?

Digital Scholarship:
document genetic research for chemosensory and animal behavior researchers
integrate public data repositories and genomes
meta-analysis of voluminous collection of experimental data
online knowledge base exchange
Digital scholarship integrates large scale database archives, experimental reports, and phylogenetic research techniques (Coddington, 1988; Havey & Pagel, 1991). I use digital scholarship in a systematic data mining activity where the data is computationally complex and useful in the qualitative design of data driven research protocols. Furthermore, digital scholarship attempts to integrate several layers of data: published papers, empirical research data, and knowledge based on genomic sequencing. By aggregating these layers of data part of the research function assembles a viable archive that can be shared. Rauscher et al. (2010) have identified the need for the systematic archiving of genetic research after publication of experimental research. This method supplements literature review with research data collection through large scale data aggregation and the analysis of morphological data through the universal system of genomics. Thereby, the reporting and evaluation of research lead to data archives, evolutionary trees, and other digital artifacts that can be used in replicable procedures.
