Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/interact-and-reuse/communities.md). # Communities Communities can set up their own environments that support and highlight different aspects of research, according to their own interests. You can become part of a community, or submit your work to them to get it verified according to their choice of attestations. You will be able to check out and subscribe to certain Nodes curation communities, that will present a selection of their favourite nodes, curated according to their own principles. For example: Nodes that use particularly FAIR data, high quality Node publications in a particular field, or Node publications that have particularly interesting new ideas that challenge the status-quo, or a combination of these. These will be shown on the Explore page - giving you the option to browse Explore according to your interests.
More on this is found in the [Validate and Curate](/community/community-curation.md) section of the guidebook.

Find the Browse by Community tab in the Explore page.

Nodes together with communities will develop the opportunity for communities, businesses and individuals to set up their own curated collections of Node publications - similar to a journal or other format. {% embed url="" %} Communities and community attestations {% endembed %}

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/interact-and-reuse/communities.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
