Beta blockers? (Nature)
The sub-title for this
article is Proprietary data formats may be legally defensible but
open standards can be a better spur for innovation. "Dan
Cohen, director of GMU's Center for History and New Media, and Sean Takats,
a GMU history professor, are also directors of Zotero: open-source software
developed by the history centre that lets researchers organize and share
their digital information iTunes style, whether it is in the form of
citations, documents or web pages. Zotero is free and popular, and has
attracted some 1 million downloads since its launch in October 2006.
Thomson makes the proprietary bibliography software EndNote, and claims
that Zotero is causing its commercial business "irreparable harm" and is
wilfully and intentionally destroying Thomson's customer base. "
