Science gateways today and tomorrow: Positive perspectives of nearly 5000 members of the research community [link]Website  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Science gateways are digital interfaces to advanced technologies that\nsupport science/engineering research/education. Frequently implemented\nas Web and mobile applications, they provide access to community\nresources such as software, data, collaboration tools, instrumentation,\nand high-performance computing. We anticipate opportunities for growth\nwithin a fragmented community. Through a large-scale survey, we measured\nthe extent and characteristics of the gateway community (reliance on\ngateways and nature of existing resources) to understand useful services\nand support for builders and users. We administered an online survey to\nnearly 29,000 principal investigators, senior administrators, and people\nwith gateway affiliations. Nearly 5000 respondents represented diverse\nexpertise and geography. The majority of researchers/educators indicated\nthat specialized online resources were important to their work. They\nchoose technologies by asking colleagues and looking for documentation,\ndemonstrated reliability, and technical support; adaptability via\ncustomizing or open-source standards was another priority. Research\ngroups commonly provide their own resources, but public/academic\ninstitutions and commercial services also provide substantial offerings.\nApplication creators and administrators welcome external services\nproviding guidance such as technology selection, sustainability\nplanning, evaluation, and specialized expertise (e.g., quality assurance\nand design). Technologies are diverse, so flexibility and ongoing\ncommunity input are essential, as is offering specific, easy-to-access\ntraining, community support, and professional development.
