Kevin Davies at Bio-IT World points to a new website called Pubget, which is a search engine for scientific articles. Some are openly available, while other entries only link to abstracts and citations. From the article:
Pubget offers various links for functionality, including a Firefox plug-in to download PDFs; access to the publishers’ web page and the equivalent page in PubMed; email forwarding; and tagging (using a virtual cloud-based storage system) to metatag articles and keep them in a ‘locker.’ A widget, which works via RSS, allows continuous updates on topics or authors inside a lab web page.
Thanks to Gavin Baker at Open Access News for the link. Also, commentary from Stephen’s Web.
