This tool allows saving links to web pages or PubMed entry numbers or Amazon pages for a book. Because Connotea it web-based, it’s not necessary to download references and bibliography is always available in each computer. Furthermore, it’s also possible to share references with colleagues or everyone is interested, and there are no limitations about the number of persons with which share these information or about the number of link saved. To use Connotea you must subscribe for free and you will get your space in which you can tag your reference and easily recognize them. Knowing literature is the first step to produce significant data in science!
