One issue with a daily news feed about the most cited papers in a specific field: fields move much more slowly than that.<p>Even in theoretical CS or machine learning, where we have multiple conferences every year with fast turnover and hundreds of publications in total, the accepted papers list is released once per year, which means you'd get huge updates, but infrequently, with no additional filtering. Citations also happen relatively gradually.
Interesting read. I think Zotero (<a href="https://www.zotero.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.zotero.org/</a>) is missing as a collaborative bibliography tool.
Thousands of new life-science publications appear each day on PubMed. It is quite hard to keep up, but it is possible to set up:
- keyword-triggered RSS-feeds at NCBI
- an account on Google Scholar which has some "intelligent" notifications.
- or finally use Sciencescape: <a href="https://sciencescape.org" rel="nofollow">https://sciencescape.org</a>
Google+ Communities have a lot of the features you're asking for. It's not a perfect fit, but it gets you far closer than other tools I can think of.<p>Along with Google Drive for data publishing.
