I am picking up where I left with Blogspot after a long sidestep  to Rebelmouse . Rebelmouse is a very powerful tool aggregation & curation of information, for blogging, a website even, but I miss the possibility to simply EMBED some widget, some html-code to tweak a post of info in a post........ In particular was i looking for a place to show results from the big survey 101 innovations in scholarly communication on certain topics in general, but with focus on a special SILK Dashboard on European researchers population that responded within the discipline MEDICINE. Here are two examples: The use of reference management tools in the Netherlands https://t.co/5PAvTwWvbl : a visualisation from survey https://t.co/NKrt8uI35y — Guus van den Brekel (@digicmb) June 16, 2016 Data from dashboard101innovations.silk.co 3319 responses of German-speaking researchers on survey used tools in scholarly communications #wisskom2016 see data https://t.co/9a7nb0gdYy — Guus v...

Bookmarklets can be very useful. To install these in "normal" browsers is rather simple. They appear as a Bookmark in your Bookmark bar and can be activated by single click when needed. Here is the  page about installing the RUG proxy bookmarklet  in your desktop/laptop browser. This proxy bookmarklet will check from any webpage if you have access to the fulltext of the journal, article or other digital library licenced resource! On the iPad it is a bit more complicated, but not difficult. (If you do not see you Bookmark Bar on your iPad, go to Settings, Safari; Turn ON "Always Show Bookmarks Bar") Here the description on how to install the RUG proxy bookmarklet in the iPad browser. Step 0: Open this post on your ipad .... Step 1: Use "Add Bookmark" (it does not matter from what page) to create a bookmark and .. Step 2: Call it : Library Proxy, and click"SAVE" Step 3: Open Bookmarks & History (click the open book ...) Step 4: ...

In one of my previous posts on Updates on (medical) journal Apps  i did mention there was no news about Docphin . And very quickly after that they came with a major update! Here are the main new features of Docphin: the IOS App is now ALSO for IPAD , which is a big step forward. This makes Docphin more competitive with ReadbyQxMD and docwise . The Docphin web-interface is however still unique, offering users to check and maintain their preferred journals & news on desktop computers easily. Maybe ReadbyQxMD is goind that way too with their  Read on the  Web, search   feature. Institutional Access   -  Save your password and never type it in again This is a major improvement too taking away loging in over and over again. ReadbyQxMD , BrowZine and Docphin now have this for the library proxy and I am hoping docwise will go there soon too! Medstream - Keep up with breaking research in the news Get visually triggered by relevant topics and rel...

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...

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...
