EigenfactorTM ranks journals of scientific knowledge
What Company Is Offering:
EigenfactorTM ranks journals much as Google ranks websites.
Scholarly references join journals together in a vast network of citations. Eigenfactor uses the structure of the entire network (instead of purely local citation information) to evaluate the importance of each journal.
EigenfactorTM measures journal price as well as citation influence.
How It Works:
Eigenfactor provides information about price and value for thousands of scholarly periodicals. While the Eigenfactor and Article Influence scores do not incorporate price information directly, the Cost-Effectiveness Search orders journals by a measure of the value per dollar that they provide.
EigenfactorTM contains 115,000 reference items.
Eigenfactor not only ranks scholarly journals in the natural and social sciences, but also lists newsprint, PhD theses, popular magazines and more. In so doing, it more fairly values those journals bridging the gap between the social and natural sciences.
EigenfactorTM adjusts for citation differences across disciplines.
Different disciplines have different standards for citation and different time scales on which citations occur. The average article in a leading cell biology journal might receive 10-30 citations within two years; the average article in leading mathematics journal would do very well to receive 2 citations over the same period. By using the whole citation network, Eigenfactor automatically accounts for these differences and allows better comparison across research areas.

Behance is a company that designs products and services that empower the creative world to make ideas happen
What Company Is Offering:
Behance is a company that designs products and services that empower the creative world to make ideas happen.
Behance is founded on the principle of "Productive Creativity." Too often, great ideas never materialize. Creative people are rarely lacking inspiration; rather, they lack effective processes and tools to make their ideas happen.
The Behance team studies exceptionally productive people and teams working in creative fields. They document the methods and resources that these productive creative professionals use to push their ideas forward. They then develop products and services based on the best practices that we discover through their research.
How It Works:
If you know of any creative professionals who should be on the Behance Network, you can invite them through the 'Controls' panel on the 'My Home' page. The Behance Network is a platform for creative portfolios, projects, and collaborations.
To invite other Creatives: Click on 'Invite Other Creatives' in the 'Controls' panel.
Circles are the community component of Behance. Circles are a way to organize your creative professional community by a sub-interest or niche. For example, some people use them to gather people in certain locations (ie: Poland Designers), alumni groups use them to keep past students connected with each other, some circles gather people around certain interests (ie: videographers for charity), or they can be used to gather a few select people in a "private circle" to work on a project.
Members can also create projects that are only visible to members in a particular circle (and not in their public portfolio) by changing the privacy settings for the project.

Passitto is a “business referral networking” website
What Company Is Offering:
Passitto is an online platform for business networking, with an emphasis on sending and receiving business referrals.
Passitto allows members to benefit from information that would otherwise go unused. We all learn of other businesses, colleagues, clients, and friends who need goods or services that we do not or cannot provide. While this information probably has little value for you, it is extremely valuable to businesses that offer these goods and services.
How It Works:
Passitto provides a platform for you to provide this referral information to other members and for other members to provide referral information to you. You may increase the chance that you will receive referral information from other members by providing more referral information to other members. If you choose, you can also get paid by Passitto to provide referral information to other members.
You can use Passitto when you learn of referral information that you are not going to use yourself. In many cases you will not be using this referral information yourself because you do not provide the good or service that the client needs, the good or service needs to be provided by someone in a remote location, you have a conflict of interest, or any other reason.
