Purpose
This paper is to address the research gaps about Research Support System (RSS) as mentioned by earlier articles, and to provide a possible solution to develop an RSS for supporting academics in conducting their research.
Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts a single-case study with the application of netnography. Data were collected from an ongoing-using Wiki and the data were analysed using the theoretical lens established from earlier articles.
Findings
The result confirmed the possibilities of using Wiki to establish a system for supporting research. The authors have established a 3-stage EDM (Establishment, Development, Management) process model for illustrating the steps.
Research limitations/implications
This single-case study revealed the possibility for using Wiki as RSS for helping academics to conduct their research through providing support in preparing literature review, conducting project management and providing an archive for research methodologies. The paper also provided suggestion for practitioners on the implementation of the RSS.
Originality/value
This paper presents one of the earliest studies for developing a model to explain how to develop an RSS that gives a more concrete definition of RSS and outline a process of using Wiki as an RSS.

Wiki在基于Web的研究支持系统中的应用
目的
本文旨在解决前面文章中提到的有关研究支持系统(RSS)的研究空白,并提供一种可能的解决方案来开发RSS以支持学者进行研究。
设计/方法/方法
本研究采用单例研究并结合了网络志技术。从持续使用的Wiki中收集数据,并使用从较早的文章中建立的理论视角分析数据。
发现
结果证实了使用Wiki建立支持研究的系统的可能性。作者建立了一个三阶段的EDM(建立,开发,管理)过程模型来说明这些步骤。
研究局限/意义
这项单例研究揭示了使用Wiki作为RSS的可能性,它可以通过提供文献准备,项目管理和研究方法档案的支持来帮助学者进行研究。本文还为从业人员对RSS的实施提供了建议。
创意/价值
本文介绍了有关开发模型的最早研究之一,该模型解释了如何开发RSS,从而给出了RSS的更具体定义并概述了使用Wiki作为RSS的过程。
