CiteULike
http://www.citeulike.org/

CiteULike is a free service to help academics to share, store, and organise the academic papers they are reading. When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal library. CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there's no need to type them in yourself. It all works from within your web browser. There's no need to install any special software. Because your library is stored on the server, you can access it from any computer. You can share you library with others, and find out who is reading the same papers as you. In turn, this can help you discover literature which is relevant to your field but you may not have known about. Only links to the papers are stored, the papers themselves stay in archives like JSTOR or PubMed. At the moment the database is dominated by biological and medical papers, but there is no reason why, say, history or philosophy bibliographies should not be equally prevalent. The system currently supports: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) portal, American Meteorological Society, arXiv.org e-Print archive, CiteSeer, IngentaConnect, JSTOR, MetaPress, PLoS Biology, PubMed, PubMed Central, ScienceDirect, but more systems will be supported soon. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This has been added to Student Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
