CiteULike
"CiteULike is a free service to help academics to share, store, and organise the academic papers they are reading. When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal library. CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there's no need to type them in yourself. It all works from within your web browser. There's no need to install any special software.
Because your library is stored on the server, you can access it from any computer. You can share you library with others, and find out who is reading the same papers as you. In turn, this can help you discover literature which is relevant to your field but you may not have known about."
Have a look at the list of academic material of interest to the group here. There is a static link to CiteULike in the links section of this blog.
First register as CiteULike users (it takes 15 seconds), then start saving any reference relevant to your research and that you would like to share with the members of the group.
Once registered and logged in, click on view groups. Click on "ask to join this group", besides IC_ElectricitySystemsGroup and the administrator will have a look at your request and hopefully approve it very quickly.
Any list of references is public, everybody can see it. Everybody can export references to EndNote (or Reference Manager, since the export format should be compatible with it anyway). In the (hopefully near) future, it should be possible also to upload a list of references from a stand-alone reference manager to citeULike.
Is there a more convenient way to share references of academic papers between us? Try uploading the essential references needed to gather understanding about your research.
