As most of knowledge workers know, a crucial issue when working with scientific references is how to properly format them when creating bibliographies or publication lists. There's so many possibilities - title first, author first, year in brackets, ... and many more. As Germans typically tend to define some standards and norms in such a case, since 1984 there exists the DIN-1505-2 norm (link in German only), which precisely defines a legible standard citation format. Experienced BibSonomy... Read Full Story

BibSonomy's API allows you to access all of your posts programmatically. The API's help page describes how you can authorize your requests using your API key and secret. If you want to access BibSonomy within your application in behalf of a user, this approach is not feasible, as users had to store their API key and secret within your application. OAuth is an established protocol for secure API authorization which allows users to grant third party applications access to their data without... Read Full Story

Scientists usually don't believe in mystical things like elves - but in fact, we can't be 100% sure if they aren't dancing right now within our institute, because actually (not surprisingly) there isn't anybody there right now :) As you see, we're on a leave, and we hope you are too - wishing you a great Christmas time, and a good start into a successfull new year 2012.

The days at the end of the year are usually a good time to look back on the past 12 months and to take a look ahead to ideas, tasks and challenges for the approaching new year. This week's post is dedicated to the latter and the bigger goal we have set for BibSonomy in 2012 is to give it a new, revised and modern design. Since its birth in 2005 BibSonomy has been enriched with new features to facilitate and ease the organization of bookmarks and publications, the social interaction with other... Read Full Story

Since its beginning, BibSonomy has undergone several changes - layouts were modified (who of you can still recall the early style from 2005 ?), new functions were added, internal modules were restructured to enhance performance, and many more. However, throughout these times, the very core of BibSonomy remained the same - namely to be a system to collaboratively annotate (bookmark and publication) resources using freely chosen tags . Despite the fact that the "Web 2.0 hype" is declining since... Read Full Story

This week we present a small but - we think - nice feature and we hope it will save you a lot of time. While searching for interesting and new papers the boring part is often to collect all meta data for storing the new entry. We try to make this part as easy as possible and several earlier blog posts describe the bookmarklet or the underlying scraping service which extracts important information for you. If you do not have the necessary bookmarklet, you have to add it to your browser . The... Read Full Story

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } A short explanation on why BibSonomy was down this morning: Actually, BibSonomy was running fine but one of the routers which connects our university building with the internet was down. Unfortunately, we have no influence on the infrastructure which usually works very good. It took two hours before the router was working properly again. Sorry for this and lets keep our fingers crossed that the router will not go down again. Read Full Story

This week's post is about a small addition we have made to the sidebar of BibSonomy's discussed-post-pages : a collection of some basic statistics describing discussion and review habits. As you probably know from your own experiences people tend to have very different approaches when it comes to rating something. Even if they agree by trend in liking or disliking a resource, they might have very different ideas of how to express such an opinion. This makes it particularly hard to objectively...
