		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: The <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/library/publicaccess">RFIs have now been posted</a> and there's a <a href="https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/oppose-hr3699-research-works-act/vKMhCX9k">petition opposing the RWA</a> on whitehouse.gov.

The US White House Office of Science and Technology Policy recently issued a <a href="http://federalregister.gov/a/2011-28623">Request for Information</a> on their existing policy requiring some federally-funded work to be submitted to Pubmed Central, where it's freely accessible to the public. We were pleased to have the opportunity to respond and a summary of our response is below.  Before getting into that, however, I'd like to take a little detour and talk a little about our mission and how that relates to the scholarly endeavor. Our mission at Mendeley is to help researchers organize research, collaborate easily with colleagues, and discover new research.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Keeping with the Open Access week spirit, we're taking this opportunity to show you how to publicly share your own research on Mendeley. Making it openly available for others to easily access means they are more likely to cite you in their own publications, and also allows your colleagues to build upon your work faster.

When you sign up for a Mendeley user account, your a researcher profile is created for you. On this page, along with your name, academic status and short bio, you will also see a section titled "Publications". This section is where you can display work you've published or perhaps even work that's not yet published.

So how do you add your publications to that list? Just drop your papers into the My Publications folder in Mendeley Desktop. Let me show you how, step by step.]]></description>

Now that we have over 50,000 groups created by people <a href="http://www.mendeley.com/groups/search/?query=bioinformatics">sharing research on a topic with their colleagues</a>, <a href="http://www.mendeley.com/groups/search/?query=roderic+page">publishing curated lists</a>, or just having <a href="http://www.mendeley.com/groups/536621/creatively-named-research-papers/">a bit of fun</a>, finding groups by invitation or through your contacts' profiles isn't quite enough.]]></description>

It’s now possible to filter the 27 million canonical documents in the Mendeley research catalog for articles published in Open Access journals. ]]></description>

What are groups?

Groups are a simple way for you to collaborate with your colleagues to create a shared collection of documents.  Groups allow members to put together a list of papers and share notes.  There are three types of groups:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was sitting at café Tryst in Washington D.C. along with Mendeley’s co-founders and a coffee house full of hipsters, Georgetown students, tourists, and a few politicos. In retrospect, perhaps this was the only setting possible to be discussing the future of research and our small part in it. We were surrounded by the common citizens who depend on the outputs of science, but had little to no power in changing its course for their benefit. More pointedly, they had no clue that science is being held back by the very people who are supposed to be advancing it.

We came to the conclusion that technology is finally at a point that if we don’t use it now, then we are holding back the progress of science. And what exactly are we to use technology on? Open science/data/access.]]></description>
