Scholarly Communication: Open or Shared Bibliographies

Use online tools to build your research profile

Create an Open Bibliography

An open bibliography allows you and your research collaborators to share citations on a topic or theme.  The list of materials is shared with other researchers - which can help you find more resources on the topic and link you with other researchers.  It is a two-way street - leading you to resources and leading others to the resources you have found on a topic.  You can create open bibliographies using citation management tools such as  Zotero, Mendeley, CiteULike or Siteseer.
