Hello, I've been working on the citation links for the state of the art discussed last week, and have a few comments about linking to Mendeley from the Wiki, as it may affect how we cite in any report we put on the Wiki. We said in the telecon that the reason for linking to the articles in Mendeley (rather than DOI, for example) was to allow people to know about and use our Mendeley collection. However, if you click on the Mendeley paper links, the pages you reach don't have any mention of our collection, so I'm afraid this won't work. For example, try clicking on the links in the News Aggregator state of the art - a Mendeley page on the paper is reached, but no mention that the paper is in our collection. Also, there are multiple URLs per paper, depending on how you find the article: you get one if you find it through browsing our collection, another if you find it through browsing Mendeley's own categorisation, and a third if you search on the paper title, with apparently no way to translate one to another. I believe the third kind is used in the News Aggregator state of the art, which is fine except that, as Daniel said, not all articles in our collection are found on searching, so I can't use it consistently for my scenario's state of the art. Maybe I'm just missing something in my use of Mendeley, but I suggest that linking to the papers on Mendeley from the Wiki may be too much trouble for too little gain.
