From Increased Availability to Increased Productivity: How Researchers Benefit from Online Resources

With the rapid growth of data on World Wide Web, this paper presents researchers with an analysis that summarizes data collection and evolution features in the World Wide Web. We have reviewed a large corpus of published work to extract the research features supported by advanced Web features, i.e., blogs, microblogging services, video-on-demand web sites and social networks. We have presented summary of our review and analysis. This will help in further analysis of the evolution of communities using and supporting the features of the continuously evolving World Wide Web.
