Science gateways provide access to advanced resources for science and engineering researchers, educators, and students. Through streamlined, online, user-friendly interfaces, gateways combine a variety of cyberinfrastructure (CI) components in support of a community-specific set of tools, applications, and data collections.:[1] In general, these specialized, shared resources are integrated as a Web portal, mobile app, or a suite of applications.[2] Through science gateways, broad communities of researchers can access diverse resources which can save both time and money for themselves and their institutions.[3] As listed below, functions and resources offered by science gateways include shared equipment and instruments, computational services, advanced software applications, collaboration capabilities, data repositories, and networks.[2]
