Abstract
Knimbus is both a search engine and a collaborative platform for scientists to find the
information they need and connect them with other researchers in their field. As a search
engine it provides a federated search of 32 Open Access resources and connects the
researcher to the full text. As a collaborative platform, it provides a way for scientists to
upload their documents and share them with their colleagues. Knimbus is an enterprising
project that has excellent potential. Unfortunately, the searching is not as straightforward as
it could be within the free version of the product and can provide irrelevant results. It shares
the same problems as any federated search, but adds a few new ones with its search
language.
