2collab is an Elsevier online collaborative research tool that enables researchers to share bookmarks, references or any linked materials with their peers and colleagues. Users can share, collaborate and discuss resources either in private groups or openly with the wider scientific community. Through the integration of 2collab into other scientific platforms such as ScienceDirect and Scopus a lot of researchers are enabled to transport not only the bookmark but also the bibliographic data of research papers into their accounts. Especially when they are the author of these bookmarked documents they can create an easy to use list and share it with others in their field of expertise and start a conversation.

Users can organize the wide breadth of information online by choosing tags that turn the vast amount of information into navigational structure that is called a folksonomy also known as user generated content.
