This document discusses Related-Work.net, a scientific discussion platform and open database of papers and citations. It describes the vision for the platform to be a social community for scientists with open data and free software. The document outlines the history of Related-Work.net and its merger with OpenCitations.net. It also describes some of the challenges in building the platform, such as matching citations to papers and identifying authors, as well as examples of potential data mining applications.
