citeulike

CiteUlike is a free platform for managing references and bookmarking tool. Users can seamlessly add references from the web and it allows to find new articles. CiteUlike now features a recommendation tool. CiteUlike has a feature to share references and work with PDF files. New users can join directly through Facebook.

There are not much resources and references for some particular topics. CiteUlike can be added as a button to Safari, FireFox and IE but they do not support Chrome. There are not much do dislike about CiteUlike but it would be nice if they release mobile native applications for iOS and Android since other reference management platforms like Mendeley features mobile apps.

The user interface of CiteUlike is so simple and easy to use. Researchers can browse groups and find new topics and references. CiteUlike has added a new feature of a research field. CiteULike allows has a page for journals from many famous providers. I would definitely recommend CiteULike for its ease of use and functionalities.

One thing is for sure: you can find high quality resources there for sure so forget about Wikipedia, Google and news sites as trustworthy resources are located right there. It's not a very handy tool so I am not entirely pleased with it as searching through the library is a pain, but the quality level of the content is very high so it might be worth the pain.

Searching is a pain with it! If you are covering a wider topic and don't have a very specific thing in mind, you will literally search for hours before hitting that right topic - some more developed keyword search module wouldn't hurt. Actually the whole interface is pretty bad and isn't really good to use, despite the fact you can find great resources there.

I can't say I recommend this tool. If you are in a hurry with finding right content then this is not the tool for you as searching is really hard there - there aren't enough filters to back you up. As far as the content itself goes though, it is high quality so in case there is a need for a very speficic, reliable source, then you might check this one out.
