Automated PDF Upload API

We've written an experimental (and trivial) API for uploading PDFs to your libraries and groups, along with a simple Perl script to drive it. This isn't anything significantly new as it can already be done by scripting the HTML but this might make it easier.

We're looking for a couple of people to field test it, suggest improvements, or even develop it some more. Please email us (support09@...) if you're interested.

PDF Preview

We have added in-line preview of the first 2 pages of your PDFs. Please let us know of any problems, but please read the howtos here and here first.

The PDFs are still updating but should be finished in the next few hours.

Our email has been playing up but we've fixed it now. If you were expecting an email (in particular for a "forgotten password"), please make a new request. Sorry for any inconvenience.

UI Bug

If the positions of your portal boxes are not saved between views (and some similar things like the tag cloud/list), you may be the victim of a minor bug. The simplest fix is to log out of CiteULike and then back in again. ("Advanced" users can delete the 2 cookies "ui-options" associated with citeulike.org, without the need to logout)

Yahoo Pipes

We've had some overloading by Yahoo Pipes - I've had to block access for now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

UPDATE: I've blocked access to just /rss/search URLs - those cause us the most problems.

Blocked Access

Many apologies if you got a message saying you'd been blocked. It's been sorted now - sorry for any inconvenience.

Article Recommendations

CiteULike now offers a recommendation service. We've developed this with some help from Toine Bogers who has done extensive research in the area. If you have at least 20 articles in your library then you will receive a list of recommended articles in your portal page. We hope to enhance this service over the next few months. All feedback is appreciated.

Import Articles from Mendeley

Our "advanced" bookmarklet can now import articles from Mendeley.

This is not a true plugin - we'll wait until Mendeley is out of beta for that, probably.
Currently only works for articles in the "Catalogue" i.e., URLs beginning http://www.mendeley.com/c/...
Only articles that we can import directly ourselves will be imported, but that includes almost everything with a DOI.

UPDATE

You can now post from your library page:

check the box next to an article. It must have a visible URL (in red) which is subject to the same restrictions as above.
click the CiteULike bookmarklet.
any tags should be imported too

Please let us know of any problems

Export to Delicious

You can now export articles to Delicious.com using the icon top/bottom right of article lists. Because of privacy and size restrictions we've had to make a few compromises:

Abstract and notes are exported, but the former is truncated if the total length goes beyond Delicious's 1000 character limit.
Private notes are only exported if they're within private articles.
Tags are exported too.

Save the file, and import into Delicions ("Setting" -> "Bookmarks" -> "Import...")

In general, we recommend importing into Delicious as "public" - any private articles will still be private.

Searching for DOIs and PubmedIDs

You can now search for DOIs and Pubmed IDs directly from the main search box,

     10.1186/gb-2009-10-8-r88 
     doi:10.1186/gb-2009-10-8-r88

BiomedExperts

There's a new plugin for posting papers from BiomedExperts Also, one can do author lookups on BiomedExperts from any author page, e.g.,

     http://www.citeulike.org/author/Greenfield:D

BiomedExperts deal exclusively with biomedicine so it'll be a waste of time to look up authors in other fields.

Highlighting article authors

We've just added a new feature. When you view a list of articles, if one of the CiteULike users has indicated that he or she is the author of that article, their username will be in bold. You can see this most easy by viewing "My CiteULike" -> "Publications", assuming you've flagged some articles in your own library.

Thanks to user LondonAnalytics for the idea.

Posting from Google Reader

User ansobol gave us this great tip for posting articles to CiteULike directly from Google Reader. [screenshot]

I'd also like to draw FireFox users' attention to this trick
