getCITED: Academic research, citation reports and discussion lists

Don G. shares this interesting research tool.

getCITED: Academic research, citation reports and discussion lists:

getCITED is an online, member-controlled academic database, directory and discussion forum. Its contents are entered and edited by members of the academic community. By putting its content in the hands of its members, getCITED makes it possible to enter in and search for publications of all types. This means that, in addition to the books and articles accessible with other databases, book chapters, conference papers, working papers, reports, papers in conference proceedings, and other such research outlets can all be entered and then searched for within getCITED. In addition, getCITED makes it possible to link publications with all the publications in their bibliographies, thereby making possible a wide variety of publication and citation reports.

If you're already a member of getCITED, you can sign in to your left (and thereby avoid seeing this page again). If you're not a member, please consider joining. Everyone is welcome to access the contents of getCITED, but in order to add to and edit its contents, you must be signed in as a member. Why? Quite simply, so we can tell who is making changes to its contents. Everything can be edited by everyone within getCITED. Therefore, it is imperative to monitor who is altering its contents lest any inappropriate information appear within it. But if you're not yet sure you want to become a member, feel free to enter as a visitor and take a look around. Or alternatively, consider visiting www.myLITsearch.org, which is intended for those who wish to access getCITED's contents with no intention of altering them (e.g., students).
