How do you choose a tool?
“I’ve found that the most important thing is identifying where other people who share your research interests are located. If you can find the tool that other people you know are using then you should probably use that tool as the biggest benefits are in the social aspects of these tools”
Hooley, T. 2011. Citeulike and other social citation tools. Vitae. Available at : http://www.vitae.ac.uk/researchers/315451-332831/CiteULike-and-other-social-citation-tools.html
