The long short communication of M. Stift

Marc Stift also know as Stifty by some, has recently left Glasgow for the sunnier climate of Portugal. Just this week, the (not so short) short communication that he worked on tirelessly, has been published. I kept on trying to convince him that it was important that people understood the statistics of small sample size and that he should include the simulation graphs that he generated for determining the statistical power when determining the inheritance in tetraploids (but he ignored me). This is probably for the best as the figures would probably just have lingered in the depths of the supplementary materials. I am still working on convincing him to release those figures which might end up in his first blog or in a second paper. I'll keep you informed!

Mendeley profile and BiomedExperts

Mendeley definitely seem to be on the ball, they have actually bothered to comment on my blog. They also seem to be very open about their future plans and about making certain aspects of their software flexible for use by the users (i.e. formatting of your own citations styles).
What I think would be a cool thing to do, is to use the information from the My Publications to automatically create peoples profiles.
In BiomedExperts, I only needed to select my publications to have a profile generated with keywords that define the organisms, concepts and ideas I work on. It also used my co-authors to create a network of collaborators and addresses from my publications to create a GeoNetwork.
My profile is bare at the moment except for My Publications. It would be nice if it could be self-generating.
