Scholarz.net, as stated on their website, is an online-software for better research and academic writing. It offers reference management, knowledge organisation, social knowledge and research community. I’m pretty sure this video will explain it all:
You can:
- display your knowledge multi-dimensionally
- capture your ideas
- assign data to exactly where you need it
- search the public knowledge base
- build your research community
It seems to be a useful tool but I have to use it for more to see whether it’s better than Connotea or 2collab. Here are some other similar sites.
This site looks interesting - I wonder if I can adapt it for use in my classroom.
is there a ref management site you would particularly recommend? do you know which site has the most users, for biomed research?
sharing is of secondary concern at the moment, though it would be nice to see what other people have to say about a given article. at the moment i’m using citeUlike and really like the tags but have a feeling other sites could be better, citeUlike is pretty static. i guess the other thing would be compatibility across many different sources, eg pubmed, sciencedirect, nature, blackwell..
there are so many online ref management sites available, it’t tricky to decide which one to use. you seem to keep up to date with these things, so i just thought i’d ask.
i’d be very thankful for a tip!

Hello Laura,
If I have to say one social bookmarking site, I would say Connotea.
If I have to say a reference management service, CiteUlike seems to be far the best one…
