getCITED

Imagine a single academic database with which we could search for all of the available research on a given topic. Not just journal articles, not just books, but "publications" of all types, including individual chapters in edited volumes, papers from conferences and in proceedings, working papers and reports, even conference presentations. Now imagine being able to click on a particularly interesting publication and having its bibliography available for inspection, with each item in that bibliography providing the possibility of clicking on it and viewing its details. Or alternatively, imagine being able to click on the authors' names and bring up their CVs in their entirety. And to find out who their colleagues are, being able to simply click on the faculty or department name to get a list of all its members. Finally, imagine that the contents of this database are controlled by us rather than corporations and you'll have some idea of what is possible with getCITED.
