Machprinciple: The dawn of Educational Social Networking
The world is progressing, and so is the information available globally. Right from Social media to Google, every medium is becoming smart enough to give us the tag of “being updated” in every aspect. But, along with it comes the challenge of the right kind of information and an easy platform where one can get the holistic information.
While LinkedIn is for Corporates and Jobs, Facebook is for Awareness and Personal Insights. But when it comes specifically to education, more so for academicians, (who need to keep themselves abreast with varied researches globally), where do they land? Either you keep on following multiple websites, or how about the idea of being fixated to the Facebook and LinkedIn of academicians – Machprinciple.com?
What is Machprinciple?
Machprinciple is a new social networking platform, which aims at connecting educationists, scientists, science enthusiasts and students all across the world. It is aimed at providing the well-researched news, scientific papers, conferences (globally) in all the domains under Science. Be it related to Astronomy or recent advancements in genomics, you can find every Science-related news on this social networking site.
The real need why Machprinciple came into existence :
With the advancements in technology, there are various researches and developments happening at different levels. 21st Century has become the century of Science overload, with an overwhelming increase in the number of research papers. This publication explosion has often led to missing of many critical pieces of research and their citations. Hence, there seemed to be an ardent requirement of a tool bridging this gap among academicians.
How is Machprinciple beneficial?
The features of this site are similar to the legends of Social networking. Here is what all you can do :
- Create your own profile, select your interests
- Be the first to read out all the recent developments (collated from multiple high authority websites in various subdomains)
- Publish your scrap in scrapbook/post an article/ research paper
- Follow your tribe (Get the live feed), save, like, comment on the posts
- Interact with the members of this community
- Get the real reviews of Global Universities and Schools
- Build up your CV’s
It seems to be a wholesome Social networking platform for :
1.Scientists :
To publish their papers digitally and target the right readers in their niche, enhancing their possibility of citations and better reach.
Did you know that there were more than 1.5lacs research papers which were being published per month (In 2015) and the sad fact is that more than 50% of these papers were only read by the author and editor ~ according to a statistic.
Thus, getting citations in this increasingly cluttered space becomes easy with the Machprinciple.
2. Academicians :
Machprinciple is the best networking portal for anyone who is connected to Education.
Various researchers can join in, read the papers of their interests and for their work. It has lots of interdisciplinary ideas related to the latest discoveries in the field of Science.
3. Students :
It is a great platform for students, looking out for recent findings and news, wrt their projects or basis their interests. One of the developing section is the Institutes which has a complete directory of Institutes. You can share your feedback, take the relevant feedback, discuss with the reviewer and more wrt a specific University globally or various schools.
This section can help students immensely in taking a judicial decision basis the feedback from the experienced ones.
Their Conference section is the one which is greatly browsed. It compiles up various conferences being held in the field of science globally with the dates. You have the option to filter your search basis the location/field of choice and find out the upcoming conferences and their motives.
Isn’t it a great tool? Being a science student, I find this portal so convenient. It seems to be a One Stop Reading destination for Latest news in Science.
To maintain the authenticity, when you write an article on machprinciple.com, you mandatorily need to mention the link of the actual research paper for verification. The researches are completely authentic and spam free.
What differentiates Machprinciple from Facebook and LinkedIn is the specific niche of Science and Technological advancements in which it operates. Rest this user-friendly portal has all the features similar to these social networking sites.
Are you an academician or an Educator or a scientist or even a keen lover of new developments in Science? If yes, then it’s time to create your profile, get the full access to Machprinciple and connect to your Tribe right away.
Its time to change the way the world sees academics!
Keep Exploring till then!

The internet is a vast jungle of information. And one gets what one is looking for but this obviously involves a lot of search. A common integrated platform for academics is the need of the hour and Machprinciple seems to be fulfilling that.
I feel facebook is too social and LinkedIn is too professional and Machprinciple looks like a great platform connecting all scientists, students and academicians together for connecting with their ideas.. Indeed it looks like facebook of academicians.
