Citation Index Idea

The goal is to create a sharable platform for publishing citation notes. Using Blogger, I post one entry per citation. The subject, or post title, is the shortened in-text APA citation. The first paragraph is the full citation. The next paragraph are short notes. More extensive notes can be accomplished by linking to a word document.

Advantages of this platform, are global sharing and interoperability. The latter point meaning many different types of communication tools can post to the same platform. Most of my entries were posted via Sidekick, a smartphone that is set up for mobile blogging. Entries can also be posted via email, web browser, even telephone -though wouldn't follow structure. Once established, the published pages can be syndicated via del.icio.us RSS, a kind of user-generated citation index channel.
