Dr. Victor Henning is the co-founder and CEO of Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com), a London- and New York-based technology startup. Since its launch in 2009, Mendeley has grown into the world's largest research collaboration platform with more than one million users, and the world's largest crowdsourced research database with more than 130 million uploaded documents. For his work on Mendeley, Victor was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He holds a Ph.D. from the Bauhaus-University of Weimar, where he researched the role of emotion in consumer decision making. Prior to this, he worked in strategy consulting, film production, and music.

Chikashi Horikiri is a sales manager for Thomson Reuters where his main accounts are the government-affiliated research institutions, granting agencies of Grants-in-Aid for scientific research, public offices, and academic societies & institutions. He graduated in 1999 from department of Physics at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and worked as an editing writer for a domestic publisher producing a professional magazine specialized in the electronics field before moving to Thomson Reuters in September 2007.

Atsuyuki Kawabata is the Area Sales Executive, RefWorks-COS of ProQuest where he has responsibility in selling and distributing RefWorks-COS to customers across Japan. Prior to joining ProQuest in 2010, Mr. Kawabata studied at Keio Research Institute SFC and Keio University Graduate School of Letters, Master of Arts in Library and Information Science from 2003 to 2007. While there, he was a member of HUMI (HUmanities Media Interface) Project led by Keio University, a collaborative project to digitise Western and Japanese rare books, which was joined by libraries including the British Library, the Cambridge University Library and the Chester Beatty Library. Mr. Kawabata holds BA in Policy Management from Keio University. Previously, Mr. Kawabata worked for SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc) Japan Ltd., and Bloomberg L.P. where he held various roles including sales representative as well as customer support. Born in 1976 in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

His specialties are "Bioinformatics", "Genome Evolution", and "Comparative Genomics".
His profile is as follows:
Project collaborator: Database Center for Life Science
Manager/Councilor: Japanese Society for Bioinformatics
2011 Present post: Assistant Professor (Senior), Center for Earth Surface System Dynamics,
Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo
2009 Ph.D., Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, the University of Tokyo
2005 Bachelor, Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry, the University of Tokyo

Crowdsourcing Research: Mendeley's Role in the Open Science Infrastructure Mendeley was started in 2008 by three Ph.D. students in a kitchen. Three years later, it has blossomed into a community of over one million researchers around the world who have collectively uploaded more than 130 million research papers, making Mendeley the world's largest scientific collaboration platform and database. Via its API, third-party developers are now turning Mendeley into an Open Science Platform for research evaluation, visualization, sharing, and discovery. What has enabled this rapid growth? What can other Science 2.0 projects learn from Mendeley's story? And what could it mean for the way science is conducted in the 21st Century?

Behind the development and familiarization of digital references in scholarly papers, the expectations of reference management tools are continually increasing, due to their use at the various stages of research workflow.
Here we will introduce EndNote, which was originally designed in 1988, and is a widely used reference management tool for many researchers.
It covers the whole research workflow seamlessly and strongly supports researchers' activities, including "collecting bibliographic information", "downloading and storing original articles", "writing papers", "transmitting the research outcomes" and "applying for research funds and making reports". We will show case studies of EndNote and highlight it's collaboration with the Web of Science.

RefWorks is an internet-based research management, writing and collaboration tool. Users can store, organize and share scholarly information and references obtained from various online databases through the tool. More than 1300 clients globally and over 60 clients domestically use RefWorks as of date. We have launched a new interface in August which enables users to familiarize themselves with the tool even more easily. In order to meet the demand of customers including students, faculties and librarians, RefWorks keeps pace with the cutting edge of internet technologies. More recently, it has also become to be known for information literacy education tool as well as research intelligence infrastructure. We are happy to share with you the latest custom cases.

In the 21st century, the innovation of technology with key words on genome, Omics, and bioinformatics, brings large volume of data to Life Sciences. Until now it put great stress on producing data, but now on the phase of understanding and it looks like bottleneck. In order to understand it, we should check updates not only specialties but also wide range of fields. In addition, it is necessary to make great use of it as living resources. So we develop "TogoDoc" which is a solution tool of integrating reference management and recommendation service. If you just download and save PDFs in the designated folder, it automatically analyzes and manages papers. Moreover, based on the analyses of users' specialties and preferences, users are recommended must-read papers among new ones in database registered more than 10,000 every week.
Users can download this tool freely at the site below. (for Windows and MacOSX)
