Social Bibliography

Social bibliography is what happens when abibliographic management tool (like EndNote orZotero) mates with a social bookmarkingplatform (like del.icio.us). Two of the big namesin this relatively new field are CiteULike andConnotea.

So, where del.icio.us can only store a URL and ashort descriptive blurb, CiteULike stores acomplete citation and, if you like, a full pdf of thedocument and it will format your references for

you in more than a dozen different styles.Finally, it can export and import reference lists inRIS or BibTeX format, so it can play nicely withmost other bibliographic management systems.
