It is a free online service to organize academic publications. It has been on the Web since October 2004 when its originator was attached to the University of Manchester, and was the first Web-based social bookmarking tool designed specifically for the needs of scientists and scholars.
CiteULike provides metadata for all publications in RIS and BibTeX, providing a solution to the ‘‘Get Metadata’’ problem described in the previous section Metadata: You can’t Always GET What You Want, because every CiteULike URI for a publication has metadata associated with it in exactly the same way.
It is a service whose main aim is social bookmarking and to promote and to develop the sharing of scientific references amongst researchers with specific tools developed for that purpose, in the same way that it is possible to catalog web pages (with del.icio.us) or photographs (with Flickr), scientists can share information on academic papers .
You can import to your CiteULike library books from GoogleBooks through GoogleScholar thanks to BibTeX easily.
