Most scientific publications are not freely available from the publisher but require payment or a subscription. However, more and more authors support
Open Access and their publications are available in the web free-of-charge.
How can you find freely available PDF versions of publication posts in BibSonomy? With the
last release we added a small feature that helps you finding such documents:
On
publication details pages you find now a search box which allows you to search for a publication on one of the major academic search engines. There you can often find a link to a freely accessible PDF:
I think this really improves my workflow, because before we added this feature, I had to manually copy the title and search for it to find the PDF. Now the PDF is only a stone's throw from BibSonomy. We hope you like the feature as much as I do.
Happy Tagging!
