Jinfo Article
31st August 2012
Abstract
Mendeley, the self-styled “Wikipedia for academic data” also described as “science’s iTunes”, has recently reached a milestone, according to the company’s blog. The crowd-sourced database, containing around 65 million scientific papers, was set up to liberate research from behind entrenched paywalls. Over 100 million queries per month now come from 240 different apps, with a sharp increase between January and July this year.
