Action Science Explorer (Formerly iOpener Workbench)
Latest News January 2012. Our paper on Action Science Explorer was accepted by JASIST, the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology. See the Publications section below for more details. December 2011. July 2010. Description The goal of the iOpener project is to generate readily-consumable surveys of different scientific domains and topics, targeted to different audiences and levels. Action Science Explorer is partially an integration of two powerful existing tools the SocialAction network analysis tool and the JabRef reference manager. JabRef supplies all the features one would expect from a reference manager, including searching using simple regular expressions, automatic and manual grouping of papers, DOI and URL links, PDF full text with annotations, abstracts, user generated reviews and text annotations, and many ways of exporting. These tools are linked together to form multiple coordinated views of the data. Data & Summarization Video Demonstration

Scholar Metrics Help
Google Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Scholar Metrics summarize recent citations to many publications, to help authors as they consider where to publish their new research. To get started, you can browse the top 100 publications in several languages, ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. To see which articles in a publication were cited the most and who cited them, click on its h-index number to view the articles as well as the citations underlying the metrics. You can also explore publications in research areas of your interest. To explore specific research areas, select one of the broad areas, click on the "Subcategories" link and then select one of the options. Browsing by research area is, as yet, available only for English publications. Scholar Metrics are currently based on our index as it was in July 2013. Available Metrics Coverage of Publications

Automatic Graph Layout
Microsoft Automatic Graph Layout (MSAGL), formerly known as GLEE, is a .NET tool for laying out and visualizing directed graphs. You can use MSAGL to represent complex directed graphs, such as those found in business management, manufacturing, and network analysis, as well as phylogenetic trees, which are used in bioinformatics research. MSAGL is now available for purchase at the Microsoft online store. Microsoft Automatic Graph Layout, formerly known as Graph Layout Execution Engine (GLEE), is a .NET tool for laying out and visualizing directed graphs. GLEE is still available as a free download. Automatic Graph Layout is now available for purchase at Microsoft Store. Differences between GLEE and Automatic Graph Layout: You can use Automatic Graph Layout to represent complex directed graphs, such as those found in business management, manufacturing, and network analysis, as well as phylogenetic trees, which are used in bioinformatics research.
Free Altmetrics Tools
A growing directory of noteworthy altmetrics apps: ImpactStory ImpactStory is a Web-based application that makes it easy to track the impact of a wide range of research artifacts (such as papers, datasets, slides, research code). The system aggregates impact data from many sources, from Mendeley to GitHub to Twitter and more, and displays it in a single, permalinked report. ReaderMeter ReaderMeter is a mashup visualizing author-level and article-level statistics based on the consumption of scientific content by a large population of readers. ScienceCard ScienceCard is a website that automatically collects metrics (citations, download counts, altmetrics) for a particular researcher. PLoS Impact Explorer The PLoS Impact Explorer allows you to browse the conversations collected by altmetric.com for papers published by the Public Library of Science (PLoS). PaperCritic Crowdometer
Comparison of reference management software
The following tables compare reference management software. General[edit] In the "notes" section, there is a difference between: Operating system support[edit] In the case of web applications, this describes the server OS. Export file formats[edit] This table lists the machine-readable file formats that can be exported from reference managers. Import file formats[edit] This table lists the file formats which may be manually imported into the reference managers without needing to connect to one particular database. Citation styles[edit] Reference list file formats[edit] Word processor integration[edit] Most reference management software supports copy/paste or drag-and-drop of references into any editor. Database connectivity[edit] This table lists the academic databases and search engines which reference managers can import from. Password "protection" and network versions[edit] Some reference managers provide network functionality. References[edit] Bibliography[edit] External links[edit]
Citation Management Tools
Definition: Citation management tools enable researchers to capture bibliographic information about research materials, create bibliographies, add footnotes, and manage research collections. Some citation management tools also make it easy to share references with other researchers. Tools: BibDesk: "BibDesk is a graphical bibliography manager for OS X, providing powerful BibTeX file management for Mac users." Resources: Comparison of Reference Management Software: Wikipedia article with summary information twenty different citation management tools, including cost, license, import/export formats, citation and reference list formats, word processor integration, and ability to connect to external databases.
