We are a small group concerned about the biological effects of microwave exposure. We would like one place where each person can go to add more citations to the collection. I would like to be able to tag the articles (put them them in categories) and pull up lists based on tags. Also each person should be able to annotate articles and provide summaries. These then can be viewed by everyone.
Is there a tool that does facilitates such citation gathering and commenting?
I thought perhaps a Research Gate Project, but I don't see how the group can comment on the citations provided, or how to put them into categories.
Perhaps what we want is a wikipedia page on the topic. This is the best solution I've come up with so far.
Hi Thomas,
You need Mendeley. See their website here [ http://www.mendeley.com ].
Best Wishes

Regarding possible use of an RG project to achieve your purpose: consider making a project update (that can be commented upon) for each added reference.
Mendeley is one of many tools known as personal bibliographic management sofware. To see what best suits you and your colleagues take a look at this comparison table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software
As you are working in the health sciences you may want to consider whether Covidence https://www.covidence.org/ is suitable for your project. It is designed to facilitate the sharing of large amounts of data during the writing of a systematic review for publication.
Does Mendeley (or the others) facilitate group collaboration while building a single bibliography?
EndNote. You can arrange a collaborative work with linking links (Manage Sharing ) in the modes to read or read/edit
To answer your second question: yes. Which tool you choose depends very much on your group's preferences and limitations which we can't go into right here. I recommend you book a consultation with a Librarian at UT Austin Library to discuss your individual needs and they can make a recommendation and provide support.
