Congratulations on the sponsorship. Could someone from CiteULike explain if there are going to be any practical implications for the users of the site ? Will Springer influence the development directions of the site, etc ? Thanks

Hi pedrobeltrao

Thank you for your congratulations and your question. The sponsorship simply gives us more resources to continue to do what we already are. The development direction of the site remains unchanged and is in the hands of the Chris and Richard (with me nagging them every now and again). As I'm sure you know, there is already a long list of stuff that we plan to do. If you have hung around this newsgroup much you will know that the majority of it is by request from our active users and that is how it will continue. We are interested in seeing what could be done in terms of integrations with things like SpringerLink but it is only one of 50 or so sources of articles for CiteULike, so we are only going do stuff that makes sense for the site as a whole.
