SPF - now with PDFs!

It's special because it is being posted on Saturday! Just kidding.

Let's see how this works...

Super Paper Friday is live... on Mendeley! That's right! I know, I know, it took me long enough, but not only are the citations up, but so are the PDFs. This is much, much easier for me, and gets me into some better habits in regards to keeping my papers organized. This SPF is one week delayed, so the papers are not from the current week. I was trying to make sure the PubMed info is updated - the PubMed info for papers on the day they are released is sometimes non-existent or lacking info.

So, how do you get access?

1. First, sign up for Mendeley. No, this isn't all a ploy to up user registration. Believe me. I see how many hits DNI gets, and it would be a drop in the bucket. There are 1,000,000 articles on Mendeley, and from the blog:
   

   90% of these one million articles have been uploaded since January 2009, and our database is currently doubling in size every 6 weeks. For comparison, venerable PubMed - the largest database of biomedical literature - contains 18,813,527 records as of today. Assuming we managed to keep up our growth, we could surpass the size of the PubMed database within the next 6 months!

   
   I will post a detailed rundown of my workflow when compiling literature lists soon, possibly over the weekend, so you can see it from my perspective.
2. Find my Mendeley profile. Hint: It's here. Click "Add contact". Type something in there like, "Gimme mah SPF, ya bastid!"
   
   
   
   
3. I will get a notification. I will cry because the above message was so harsh and I thought we had a good thing going. I will wipe away the tears, and try to win you back by adding you to the shared group list.
   
4. The group will appear in your shared group list. If you have the desktop client, it will fetch the PDFs automatically.
   
5. You will receive a notification that I added you, at which point you will burst into The Happy Dance. Yays!

Note that you don't have to download the client program, but I would totally recommend it. Totally, yes.

As of right now, there's no way to define custom citation styles, which is what I was using in EndNote to post the direct links, so the below list lacks links. (Yes, I am leaving you to copy and paste the title into Google or PubMed if you don't go the Mendeley route. You poor overworked soul.) Once that feature is added, I will resume using the previous format with nice, convenient links. If this really irks you, I'm sure you are smart enough to know that the right click menu over selected text will let you search for that text. Not a big deal.

Two new Mendeley tools! Part 2

The second, and arguably the most awesome tool new to Mendeley is.... Me!
(Tool? Get it? I'm so punny!)

I was waiting for this to be posted on the Mendeley blog before saying anything, but I will be joining the Mendeley team as a Community Liaison. Victor Henning and I came up with the idea when we met for coffee during his US east coast tour. We thought that designing a reference managing program/system should really be driven by the potential users, and that this was almost a full time job in itself. Like most problems, this one could be solved with minions. Or 'Mendions', if you prefer.

What does this mean to you, dear readers?

1) First, yes I will be mentioning cool Mendeley items. And yes, I am a paid consultant, so, depending on how you want to see it, I am a little biased. BUT...

2) I am working with Mendeley because I think the program has significant potential and the folks there have the vision, resources, and talent to do great things. Also, I can't believe that after leaving academia in 2001, I came back in 2005 to find almost no change in the tools for managing information. Seriously, EndNote looks the exact same as when I used it on my Power Mac 9500/120 running System 7. Sad.

3) My job is not to 'sell'. My job is to get feedback from users, librarians, and labs on how to make Mendeley work the way they do. There is a nice feedback and bug reporting system in place, so the Community Liaisons are more the 'big picture' folks and web presence crew. Yes, we'll be 'promoting' the program and web service but, like I said, I'm doing this because I do think it's a great program. So, if you have any insights you can provide, check the feedback system (it's very easy to use) and let me of any other the other CLs know! If you think I'm being unfair or too 'rah-rah', call me on it.

I'm really excited about this, and after dealing with all the papers and other literature I've amassed with my thesis project and DNI, I have a vested interest in helping make Mendeley awesome.

Two new Mendeley tools! Part 1

Today: The awesome tool. Tomorrow: The total tool.

One of my suggestions to Mendeley has been put into action, and it totally rocks. It's a very simple idea: a bookmarklet that you can click when you are in PubMed or IEEEExplore that directly imports the publication into your paper library (they added a number of other sites, like Google Scholar, too). Well, it's a reality, and it totally rocks. Just one word of caution. There is still some wonkiness with DOI vs PMID queries that they are aware of, so just be aware of that. Once that is ironed out, I may switch Super Paper Friday over to be a shared Mendeley library. Here's the info, from the source:

It’s here! The Mendeley browser “bookmarklet” allows you to import documents from websites and academic databases into your Mendeley library with a single click. At the moment, the following sites are supported: ACM Portal, Amazon.com, arXiv.org, CiteSeer, IEEE Xplore, IngentaConnect, Google Book Search, Google Scholar, PubMed, NASA Astrophysics Data System, and ScienceDirect. We’ll be adding support for further sites continuously.

This is how it works: Say you’re on PubMed and you’ve just discovered an interesting paper. Now, all you need to do is click the “Import to Mendeley” bookmark in your browser - Mendeley does the rest: The paper is automatically added to your Mendeley Web library with metadata, abstract and (if available) the PDF. All of this happens in the background, so you don’t have to leave the PubMed page you’re on.

It also works on search results pages, so you can import multiple documents at the same time - a small pop-up allows you to choose which ones.

Mendeley releases v0.6.3

Run, do not walk, and get the new Mendeley v0.6.3! The file organization features are awesome! Control the folder structure using extracted metadata, add watch folders (open Mendeley - boom! Any papers in this folder are automagically imported), PMID queries for metadata, and a ton more (translation support, integrated Word plug in installer, speed improvements, bug fixes - including that Windows filename bug, and more).

Very cool improvements. More Mendeley news to come, too, but I'm waiting to say exactly what that news might be...

SPF for ya

There were a few older papers that I missed in my feed, which have been added. No time to post a top 5 list today, but hopefully I will get into that groove soon. Enjoy!

Carbon nanotubes on and in the brain

Now that the embargo is lifted, I can talk about an interesting little ditty in Nature Nanotechnology on the use of carbon nanotubes as electrodes (kinda).

The miracle material that has been lauded as the solution to all the world's problems, from space elevators to unsightly scars, appears to integrate with neuronal membrane and conduct electricity with the greatest of ease. One interesting use being discussed is bridging between distal and proximal locations on a single neuron, which would effectively increase the response to inputs that would generally be more muffled by the distance from the soma.

Other possible uses include use as deep stimulating electrodes or electrode tips. Current DBS electrodes are huge compared to the areas they target, and damage is a very real possibility. On the topic of damage, carbon nanotubes are perhaps best known for their tensile strength and flexibility, making them perfect for navigating the densely packed, 3 pound lump of existence creating muck in the skull.

The paper is geared toward the interaction with the neuron's membrane. One thing that might shed some light on this interaction (my words, and I'm not a materials scientist, so i could be completely wrong on this) is a couple previous studies on nanotubes causing cancerous tumors. The effect was likened to asbestos, and injection caused significant inflammation. This could be due to these being shorter fragments or location of the injection, but the interaction with cellular membranes could also be key. To be fair, carbon nanotubes are also being touted as a means to precisely deliver anti-cancer treatments and drugs, so don't think I'm poo-pooing the research by bringing up the cancer link. I'm just pointing out the phenomenon because it might help explain or support the present paper.

It would be worth looking into the scale of the tubes, since a nanotube bridge would also be a cytoplasmic bridge (they are 'tubes'). How big that empty core is would be an important question, since other macromolecules and ions could be shuttled through the new proximal dendrite bypass. As a final thought, if the material itself is conductive, any passing active fiber could unintentionally influence the neuron. If carbon nanotubes are good conductors, then every segment becomes an en passant synapse without any neurotransmitter specificity. Maybe that matters, maybe not. I'm sure we'll see.

I did a quick once over of the paper, and might post a little more later, but I thought it was worth mentioning ASAP and in its own post. At this time of year, interesting papers can sneak by without much notice.

SPF

Yup, another big one! EndNote file is here. There are three groups - one for the last SPF, one or this one, and one for all SPFs. Ignore the 'all' group - that's just used to get rid of the extra citations due to searching.

No top 10 list this time, but here are a couple worth noting ;)

I may start posting the actual papers to a limited access-type site, so readers of the blog can download them more easily. I have to look into it more, but it should be legal as long as they aren't publicly available. The idea would be that if you want access, you email me with a specific subject, which will automatically spit back the login info or file password.
