The CompBioMed Website. At the core of our dissemination activity is the CompBioMed website, where the XxX is described, its partners are detailed, its activities are reported, helpful contact details are listed, and where there is a repository for XxX-related documents generally. The key CompBioMed services are listed prominently on the homepage: The Visitor Programme, the Training Portal, the Software Hub, and Associate Partner Scheme. Also shown prominently are pages filled with content that is tailored to different visitor types: from Academia, Industry, the Clinic, and the General Public. The website can be accessed at the URL xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.
The CompBioMed Website. In CompBioMed2, we have of course benefitted hugely from having already developed the project website in CompBioMed1. The website was fine-tuned over the course of the Centre’s first phase and continued into CompBioMed2 as a fully featured hub for the project. We do, of course, continue to update it, not just in terms of news, events, service updates, training etc., but also adding new areas and functionality on the website when needed. For instance, we created the CompBioMed coronavirus portal9, which describes our various threads of work, activity, collaborations, and resources related to coronavirus research. We also added the scalability support portal10, offering free support to improve the scalability of computational biomedicine solutions with high performance computers. More information on the service pages of the website can be found in D4.2, publish at the same time as this deliverable (M25 – October 2021) In terms of website traffic, the CompBioMed website’s 165 pages has seen 139,405 visitors in total, up from 109,908 visitors at the end of CBM1. The website has received 252,687 visits, up from 199,669 visits at the end of CBM1. Trends are difficult to track across the projects since Google’s tracking algorithm changed substantially in September 2018, rendering it impossible to interpret trends that cross that date.

The CompBioMed Website. In this section we describe what’s new on the CompBioMed website in the second half of the project. In terms of visitor traffic, the number of visitors and visits coming to the CompBioMed website since the start of the project is shown in Figure 19. Figure 19: Visitor traffic to the CompBioMed website In total there were 109,908 visitors and 199,669 visits to the website’s 129 pages. It should be noted that the large peak in visits during September 2017 does not correlate to a rise in the number of visitors. It is therefore likely due to the action of automated bots and should therefore be ignored. Additionally, there is a notable drop in both visitors and visits around September 7 xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/why-computer-simulations-should-replace-animal-testing-for-heart-drugs-93409 2018 and the numbers are lower thereafter. Such a shift is often regarded as the result of a change in the algorithm that was being used to calculate the numbers. The CompBioMed website8 has undergone continual development since month 18 of the project. As described in D3.5, the front page gives prime screen space to buttons that take visitors to content that is tailored to the type of user that they are: Academic, Industry, Clinical, and General Public visitors. The images on the buttons have been upgraded to attractive animations from the Virtual Humans film, which, combined with the scrolling banner image that shows key highlights, gives a dynamic feel to the website’s front page. The General Public page is now designed to take visitors through the core ideas behind Figure 20: The general public page of the CompBioMed website CompBioMed and Computational Biomedicine, harnessing the Virtual Humans film to achieve this. Also, on this page are other videos, a news feed, and a twitter feed. The general public page is shown in Figure 20. To further help the general public and other visitors, the publications page of the website is now formatted into a presentable table that shows short summaries of the research in each paper. The Clinicians page has also been revamped, now showing short summaries of each of CompBioMed’s software applications, along with two descriptive examples of CompBioMed software being used in a way that will interest clinicians. We’ve added a High Performance Computer Allocations page so that partners, associate partners and even external parties can apply to take advantage of computational resources under the control of CompBioMed. The new page provides d...
