Using A.nnotate for journal club discussions

Free to try - only an email address is required. You get 250 free credits - enough for at least 50 pages!

A.nnotate provides an easy and efficient way to get the most out of a regular journal club or from the occasional discussion of important papers with colleagues.

You simply upload the PDF file or enter the URL to make a private copy of a full text html paper. Then you can attach notes and tags to specific parts of the text.

The "share" function lets you invite colleagues to join the discussion. They can reply to notes and add their own. Everything is kept private: only you and those you invite can see it.

All annotations are indexed and searchable, and from the notes page you can easily see who made the latest comments and what they said.

To make it even more convenient, if you email the paper to be discussed in a journal club, then you can include cc@nnotate.com in the address list. This will automatically make the annotatable version and send a message to the original recipients with a link that they can use to access the paper.
