Gameology: Commentary and Resources for the Game Studies Community

Hi Tanner,

a good friend of mine and I both struggled with the same issues - how to manage and share our research - while writing our Ph.D. theses. So we set out to develop a software ourselves, called Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com).

For example, when you add a research paper (in text PDF format) into Mendeley, it tries to automatically extract the metadata (authors, title, journal etc.) and the cited references without you having to type it in. Mendeley also offers superfast full-text search across all your documents, tagging/categorization, and will soon allow sharing your research library with colleages.

It's still in a closed beta test, but our website should give you a pretty good picture of what's coming up (and if you're interested, we'd be glad to have you as a beta tester).

Cheers from London,
Victor
