Once you’re finished collecting your data you can then create your paper in MyPapers – research notes, citations, links, audio, images, video, whatever you need and save it to your profile and send it via email to your professor.

Why are there no photos or media?

You can have photos n your private profile if you wish. However due to many issues arising today such as future employers reviewing these sites, you can keep what you want private and only show a base “virtual” profile.
You can embed any media you want and use it in your papers section. Then send that to your professor in email format. No more printing of papers and professors can reply via email with comments and grades. You don’t build a web page we do it for you through MyPapers. And it is all stored in your profile for you to print or retrieve or edit at anytime. It is Software as a System.

What about your research center?

Our research center is built on peer-reviewed, pre-qualified links sent in from faculty and students. Soon we will be adding a submit button to the center so that you can get Reward Points for every valid link you provide. These points will be redeemable at a host of vendors.

Can we add friends?

Yes. You can add friends from anywhere around the world. You can also add MyMajors – friends that are studying in your major. Form study groups and discuss topics.
