Projects

These are the projects I am developing in my spare time.

Citebot

An Android application that can be downloaded for free from the Market. It displays the latest published articles from Public Library of Science(PLoS) journals. Full text of articles can be accessed and PDF can be downloaded. Articles can be shared to Twitter, Facebook or other sharing services available on the phone. Citebot also has a search interface which by default searches all the fields but queries can be restricted to DOI, abstract, author or title fields.

It displays author names with size proportional to their h-index in an interactive 3D cloud. It also provides an interface to access additional information of all authors in a publication.
