My friends and I build a website for scientists to discover & share journal articles that are worth reading, to discuss scientific ideas that are worth spreading, and to connect with people who share similar interests: http://www.pubup.org/ http://www.pubup.org/ . Please let me know what you think of the idea and the website. Thanks!
- beambot 14y agoThe idea is great, but just so you know... my experience in academia (anecdotal) suggests that Mendeley already has a pretty substantial lead: http://www.mendeley.com/ http://www.mendeley.com/
- wenxun 14y agoTrue, but it seems to me that Mendeley and us are addressing different aspects of the same problem
- beambot 14y agoCan you elaborate? The frontpage of PubUp seems strikingly similar to the "papers" page at Mendeley: http://www.mendeley.com/research-papers/ http://www.mendeley.com/research-papers/ I'm completely open to an alternative service (or even a complementary one). So... I guess what I'm trying to say: Give me, one of your intended customers, a compelling use scenario or value-add proposition that might compel me to switch.
- wildtype 14y agoMe and my friend use facebook, twitter, and (mostly) have appoinment to share interesting paper to read. Discussing paper offline are the reason why we meet. Haha..
