Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
plato.stanford.edu
From its inception, the SEP was designed so that each entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, our dynamic reference work maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research.

Interaction Design Foundation
http://www.interaction-design.org/
A great resource for the field of interaction design, with contributors from top universities and companies such as Stanford, MIT, Google, Yahoo and IBM. Some of its mission objectives are to provide free and open access to top-grade educational materials on how to design technology and to educate technology designers on how to make more people-oriented and easy-to-use technology - like websites, household appliances, software applications, and mobile devices.

An ambitious, European-lead effort to revolutionize the study of the brain. Among other goals, it aims to provide a way of testing new drugs in a computer-simulated brain and to develop new electronics that mimic the way the brain works.

The A to Z of Social Media for Academia
http://www.andymiah.net/2012/12/30/the-a-to-z-of-social-media-for-academics/
An interesting list of resources not only for research work in itself but also for the media and social aspects related to academic research and knowledge dissemination. Although I have not tried it yet, I would add to the list Prezi, http://prezi.com/, a new way of building presentations that make them more like an animation. Some of these resources may seem a bit unnecessary or overkill but they nevertheless seem to point the way academic research will be done in the near future.
