This document discusses how Web 2.0 tools can be used for new forms of research communication beyond traditional one-way publication methods. It provides examples of how blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, and social bookmarking can facilitate discussion, collaboration, and sharing of information among researchers, partners, and the public. The document concludes that while these digital methods currently supplement traditional communication, they have huge potential to transform research communication in the coming years by allowing more dynamic and interactive forms of engagement.
