Abstract

The proliferation of international research resources for sciences has improved scholarly communication and strengthened networks of research communities around the world. This study examined thirty-five portals, digital libraries, online repositories, bibliographies, etc., from Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America. The study observed trends in language, scope, access, type of resource, and search capabilities included in these resources. Moreover, this study highlights the partnerships necessary for these resources to thrive and the role of library professionals in conveying these unique resources to a broader community of scholars.
