- Connotea is a free online reference management service for scientists, researchers, and clinicians, created in December 2004 by Nature Publishing Group. It is one of a breed of social bookmarking tools, similar to CiteULike and del.icio.us, where users can save links to their favourite websites. Connotea is aimed primarily at scientists (though the user community is rapidly growing throughout academic disciplines), and while users may bookmark any webpage they choose, it incorporates special functionality for certain academic resources. Connotea recognises a number of scientific websites and will automatically collect metadata for the article or page being bookmarked, including author and publication names. It is also possible to add non-recognised webpages, by manually entering information. An alternative method of adding an article is to retrieve the Connotea form and add the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the article. Information about the material should then be retrieved automatically using CrossRef, the official DOI registration point. This function means that it is possible to quickly retrieve the reference for a print article that has an electronic counterpart with a DOI.

- Who created Connotea? Connotea was created by members of the New Technology department of the Nature Publishing Group. The majority of the programming was undertaken by NeoReality. The initial idea behind the site came from del.icio.us, the general bookmarking service. Connotea takes this concept, and tailors it specifically to the needs of clinicians and scientists.
