N2 - Science gateways, virtual laboratories and virtual research environments are all terms used to refer to community-developed digital environments that are de- signed to meet a set of needs for a research community. Specifically, they refer to integrated access to research community resources including software, data, col- laboration tools, workflows, instrumentation and high-performance computing, usually via Web and mobile applications. Science gateways, virtual laboratories and virtual research environments are enabling significant contributions to many research domains, facilitating more efficient, open, reproducible research in bold new ways. This paper explores the global effect of these programs in increasing research impact, demonstrates their value in the broader digital landscape and discusses future opportunities.
