Reviewing Papers with PaperCritic

Here is a tool you lab monkeys might find useful. It's called PaperCritic and it has been created by a phd student from Trinity College who I met in Cambridge.

The idea behind PaperCritic is simple but quite interesting: PaperCritic allows Mendeley users to review papers and also provide ratings on different aspects: references, originality, argumentation and readability. You can also add a button on your toolbar which allows reviewing papers in one click (similar to the "one-click-button" from Mendeley). They have just launched it so of course there is still a lot of space for improvements but it looks cool anyway. I like the way they are using the Mendeley API although it seems they are also restricted by it.
