Science gateways are online portals where researchers access shared resources. They focus on community sharing for a specific academic discipline, such as neuroscience; HPC and research centers hosting compute; and curriculum tools that support teaching. In addition to targeting the physical sciences, many science gateways serve researchers and educators in engineering, math, and the social sciences.
The number and uses of science gateways have increased recently in response to a push for Open Science and transparent research, data and code sharing, and sustainable platforms and projects. As part of this trend, science gateway developers are incorporating MATLAB and related community-contributed tools based on MATLAB into their online portals.
