Windows Live & Academic & Citeseer

Who is starting a blog to compare Windows Live Academic with Google Scholar and ..? Posts are blazing over blogland. Here are just a few things I noticed. While Windows Live gives you a growing number of options to build your own webpage with your own feeds, mail and gadgets, the search function is starting to get an important feature.
The search results are offered in the tabs Web, News, Feeds, Images and Academic.
Academic search compared to Google Scholars search does not offer any citing mechanism, just gives a nice link to Citeseer if available! But they are thinking about it, yeah sure. You can easily add/save your searches to "your stuff" on your Live-page. You can sort search results by Author, by Journals, or by Conferences. Windows Live Academic Search lets you add your library’s link resolver to the search results. You can then access your library’s collection by using Academic Search. They do tell us what sources they use for the WLA search: http://academic.live.com/journals They should work on better response times and work on the errors i keep getting. "one tip from Windows Live Academic Search staff is to enter your search statement along with the term “ArXiv” to reach content in the OAI-compliant institutional repositories which that source covers!

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

KOPERNIO extension to find PDF's : plus Open Access button, Unpaywall, Google Scholar and Connect UPDATED!

UPDATE: Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF: http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do.

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that.... Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com. With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things : the base url string for the RSS feed: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For Inuit Art Zone the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
