Measuring Impact
The NCN is an "Infrastructure and Research Network" where we strive to enable others to utilize Modeling and Simulation in the advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology. We engage in research in the areas of (nano) electronics, mechanics, bio, photonics, and materials primarily through leveraged funding and deploy our research tools on nanoHUB.
The traditional metric to assess impact on research is the number of publications in the scientific literature. We have identified over 922 citations to nanoHUB, associate each citation with the cited tool, map them to social networks, and track the secondary citations that cite these nanoHUB citations. Tools can be rank-listed by number of citations to assess the impact of a particular tool on research.
Powerful Graphical User Interfaces blur the distinction between research and education. We find that tools originally conceived for education are getting cited in the literature (e.g. FETtoy and MolCtoy citations). Tools that originally were relegated to expert research use are integrated into dedicated use in Education as demonstrated in the Berkeley Toolkit.

Collaborate
Collaboration Through User Groups and Tools
Create a user group for your research project and invite your colleagues to join. Upload resources and share them within the group, but keep them private, if you like, or share them with others outside your group.
Create a tool that you may share with your collaborators only in a restricted group, or open this tool to be used by the whole world. You can choose to just make the executable accessible or even release it in open source.
Collaboration Through Online Meeting Rooms
The nanoHUB offers web conferencing
Schedule a New Meeting (restricted to NCN PIs, students, staff, collaborators and partners)
NOTE: While nanoHUB does strive to keep Breeze open and available at all times, nanoHUB DOES NOT GUARANTEE ITS FUNCTION OR AVAILABILITY IN ANY WAY. Although we try to minimize problems, unexpected events or scheduled maintenance may result in periods of downtime or limited operation.
