User:Nicole/PubMan reference integration

How to integrate PubMan data into other services, e.g. CiteULike or connotea.

CiteULike
CiteULike is based on the principle of social bookmarking and is aimed to promote and to develop the sharing of scientific references amongst researchers. Scientists can share information on academic papers with specific tools developed for that purpose.

When browsing issues of research journals, small scripts stored in bookmarks (bookmarklets) allow to import articles from repositories like PubMed. Then, the system attempts to determine the article metadata (title, authors, journal name, etc) automatically. Users can organize their libraries with freely chosen tags which produces a folksonomy of academic interests.

Import Format(s)
CiteULike (only) supports the import of BibTeX files. There is a nice screencast, where you can look at the import and export functionality of CiteULike.

For PubMan, this means, that we can already support in a simple way the integration of PubMan data into CiteULike. Of course for the future we should offer the one click integration. Please see: http://www.citeulike.org/faq/all.adp for further specification/reading.

Connotea
Connotea is a free online reference management tool for clinicians and scientists, developed by the Nature Publishing group.
