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. For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008 (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This new company has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free.

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!).

11 Ways to calculate (your) H-Index : free and otherwise

I bumped into a blog post from ChemConnectorBlog about free tools to calculate your h-index. This was posted already in 2011 and I got curious if there would be more tools available right now. Here is a short summary of tools that can be used: (If I missed some, please let me know via Comments please!) The Central Medical Library advices to use Web of Science (ISI) to calculate your h-index. Within the UMCG this is still the generally accepted citation resource & tool. We help patrons setting up their ResearcherID and Google Scholar Citations. ResearcherID from Thomson Reuters offers Citation Metrics, including your h-index to be calculated from your publications. We calculate the h-index for patrons on request either via Web of Science (ISI) or via "Publish or Perish" This free software makes it possible for librarians (or patrons) to create the h-index for themselves or for others.(Note: risk of getting banned temporarily from Google Scholar ...
