Galaxy and CiteULike 101
The Galaxy project uses the CiteULike social bookmarking service to organize papers that are about, use, or reference Galaxy.
CiteULike supports groups. A group is a set of CiteULike users, and the most prominent feature of a group is its library - the set of papers that the group has flagged as relevant to it.
The Galaxy Group is open to any CiteULike user. Once you have joined you can add papers to the group, assign tags, and rate papers.
CiteULike Tags
CiteULike makes extensive use of tags to categorize papers and to help in finding them. The Galaxy group uses this set of tags to categorize papers:
Tag |
Explanation |
Papers that are about the project or Main. Galaxy is the central theme of these papers. |
|
Papers that are about other installations of Galaxy. (See also the Public Galaxy Servers list.) |
|
Papers that have published/shared workflows, histories, datasets, pages, visualizations in a Galaxy instance. |
|
Papers about how to use Galaxy for specific analyses. |
|
Papers that used Galaxy in their methods. This is the largest category by far. |
|
Papers about workflow and workflow platforms that include Galaxy, but where Galaxy is not the primary focus of the paper. Includes reviews and papers about other platforms. |
|
Papers about reproducibility and persistence in science. |
|
Anything that does not fit above. |
Every paper should have at least one tag (even if it is just "other"), and papers can have more than one tag.
Want to Help?
If you want to help other Galaxy users and sites find papers that are relevant to them, or help the Galaxy Project keep track of what papers (and communities) are using it, then please help by adding relevant papers to the Galaxy Group Library and/or rating the papers that are there.
We particularly need help with papers that were published before 2011.
And Mendeley Too
The Galaxy CiteULike Group is mirrored to a Galaxy Mendeley Group on a weekly basis. If you prefer Mendeley over CiteULike, you can now access the publication list on Mendeley, complete with the CiteULike tag set.
Note: The list of publications at Mendeley is a mirror of the list on CiteULike. Therefore, if you want to add new publications to the Galaxy Group, please do so on CiteULike.
