While looking around on the web (perhaps the quickest way to find what people are up to sometimes) I ran across an interesting site called the Scientific Commons. Its mission statement claims that it aims to create a comprehensive and public compilation of scientific materials on the internet.
More importantly, I found several of Bakos' works on the website. I find this entire set-up quite interesting, as it makes it much easier for the general public, the beginning student in the sciences, and even professionals to gain quick access to certain scientific papers. It even goes so far as to list co-authors on papers and provides further links to other works they have participated in.

I tried the Scientific Commons too and found a number of papers by my scientist. This is an awesome site and it certainly helped. Woot!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that Scientific Commons is just in the beta stage. Imagine what the finished product will be if the beta is so helpful. I look forward to it. Reminds me of WorldCat in a way.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a new one to me. I really like the "Selected Publication Information" changes as you roll over the article titles. My scientist seems to have a popular name so this will be quite the time saver. I like how while I was playing with it, it led me to the University of California (she's at UC Merced)institutional repository. Nice little resource. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteThank you for listing Scientific Commons on your blog. I tried it and found a lot of papers that my scientist has published. When I clicked on the links to the papers, I learned many came from a repository called Cite Seer. Apparently, this is similar to the ISI in that it tracks when the paper was cited over the years. Very helpful.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't looked at the ADS - http://adsabs.harvard.edu - you should definitely check it out. My scientist is involved in the same type of research, and ADS, as well as arxiv.org are key resources in the astronomy/astrophysics field.
