Citeulike is an free online web where anyone can write different links about academic information. It has been on the web since 2004 and designed specifically for the needs of scientists and scholars. It’s main aim is to promote and to develop the sharing of scientific references amongst researchers.
We use citeulike to cite different articles, web pages or even photos and small scripts read the citation information from the web page and import into the CiteULike database for the currently logged in user. The most important tags are sited in the front page and these can be clicked on in order to see the information. This is called importing information. However, you can also export information from your own account just by adding entries and making them public for everyone. The page also gives the oportunity to join to different groups that are usually labs, institutions, professions, or research areas. Groups allow individual users to collaborate with other users to build a library of references.
The only thing one has to do is register to have their own account and start publishing things.
