Group: CiteULike-discussion - Forum Thread

I am a distance learner with the Open University and access journal websites via a proxy. I have read through the FAQ and forum but am still not sure how to post to CiteULike. Could someone give me an 'idiot's guide'.

Thanks in advance

Victoria

Hi Victoria, when you say the proxy thing.. whats the problem? CiteULike generally doesnt care how you are searching and finding articles.. its the URL it cares about.. In short.. (although to me it looks like you are already adding articles fine)..

1. Create an account (tick! I see you are vburton82)

2. Login (tick!)

3. Install a browser button

4. Search and find your articles online in your web browser how you would normally. E.g. using pubmed

5. Find an article. Go to the article page (i.e. not the search results page but the actual article/citation detail page e.g a pubmed article page )

6. Click on your "CiteUlike Post to citeulike" button that you installed in 3.

7. Enter details about your article so you can remember it. Upload a PDF if you have one. Press save.

8. Repeat..

Make sense? Not answering your question?

Thanks for your reply. On further exploration I only seem to have a problem with JSTOR. The error message I receive is:

Sorry. Can't do it.

I couldn't post the page you were looking at to the site because:

* Sorry. I can't parse this page, and it looks like it might be because of a bug in CiteULike. Try again, and if it still doesn't work then please submit a bug report to bugs@citeulike.org and we will fix it.

If this doesn't make sense, you need more help, or just can't see the point of all this, then you might like to read the FAQ page All about the Bookmarklet.

The page you submitted was: http://www.jstor.org.libezproxy.open.ac.uk/stable/pdfplus/3078996.pdf

Maybe it is not a problem with the proxy then? I am doing quite well adding so far apart from JSTOR.
