Top Science Papers: January 2008

by mitch on Feb 18 2008 (2036 Views)

As most readers know, I have more than a passing interest in social bookmarking. There are popular social bookmarking websites like Digg and Reddit. But, there are also science social bookmarking websites like Nature’s Connotea. Connotea has many advantages over other sites, such as being able to export the papers you’ve bookmarked into Endnote and the ability to view other people’s paper databases. Unfortunately for Connotea, they don’t have the nicest visual interface for viewing the most popular papers by their users. Fortunately for you, I know how to query and index a database very well and quickly. I’m rapidly working on learning javascript and AJAX and should have a very nice website utilizing Connotea as the back-end database in a view days. For the time being, I present what Connotea users thought were the best science papers for January 2008. Not surprising, a paper about Connotea is at the top. If you want to help decide what ends up as the top science papers, than go register at Connotea. :)

Paper Title #Users Bookmarked
Social Bookmarking Tools (II) A Case Study – Connotea 4
Web 3.0 and medicine 4
Protein-protein interaction networks and biology—what’s the connection? 4
Endogenous human microRNAs that suppress breast cancer metastasis 4

Sorry, no chemistry papers made it to the top.

Unfortunately, most Chemists don’t have blogs.

You know, Mitch, i really think it’s just 3 undergrads working for a grad student who is ridiculously good at making people register for Connotea.

(Have you thought about being a car salesman? Definitely more lucrative than being employed by the LBL…)
