Overview

RDL Network is a global social network where academics consolidate their digital identity. ORCID-backed profile, publication and citation management and automatic CV generation — all in one place.

More than a profile page; it's a living research community with discussions, research groups, an academic events calendar, 1-to-1 messaging and real-time notifications. Preprint sharing, open peer review and version history are here too.

Dr. Kwame Mensah 11

We had luck with limma's removeBatchEffect, but validate on held-out sites.
