CiteULike API

CiteULike is a fantastic tool for reference and citation collected from the Internet. However, I am never satisfied with its website. CiteULike search is just too funny; given a complete paper title, it shows me ZERO result, but Google simply just searches through and gives me the right page in CiteULike.

But the good thing is, it provides API. A nice Chrome extension, CiteULike Web Importer, utilised that so well. It replaces CiteULike bookmark tool and seamlessly integrates with the browser's extension button. There are more to be done; I always want to do but yet no time.

1. Better search: search that works better than the one CiteULike provides in terms of accuracy and functionality. Google scholar can do way better.
2. Cite abbreviation manipulation: some abbreviations of papers are assigned automatically and it's ridiculously long. I want to see them listed with the paper title and authors.
3. Hierarchical tag: plain tagging is an old school of tagging and it is just not working. YAGBE, a Chrome extension for Google Bookmark that looks at a particular delimiter as a path separator, the idea is cool and simple.

That's about it.

PS: As I was writing this blog, Chrome spell checker does not recognise the word Google! Day made!
