The document discusses how the content management system (CMS) Drupal can benefit scientific communities and organizations. It notes that many universities, funding agencies, and data providers already use Drupal. Drupal allows science networks to gain collaboration capabilities and allows science societies to publish research. The document promotes the website scienceondrupal.org and signing up to stay connected with the community supporting science applications of Drupal.
