Instead of merely enabling you to read an article, Utopia connects to a plethora of online resources that help you not only to further explore the article\u2019s content but also to discover related materials. It combines the reliability and convenience of a PDF with the power and flexibility of the Web.<\/p>\n<p>Upon opening an article, Utopia analyzes its content, and links to up-to-date online resources displayed in a sidebar on the right. The exact <a href=\"http:\/\/utopiadocs.com\/quickstart.php\" target=\"_blank\">content of the sidebar<\/a> varies depending on available information, but can contain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A format style-customizable citation, provided by CrossRef<\/li>\n<li>The Altmetric score, which is an indication of article impact via blogs, social networking sites, and the media<\/li>\n<li>Links to related articles, provided by Mendeley<\/li>\n<li>Copyright information, provided by Sherpa\/RoMEO<\/li>\n<li>Related data from an international repository, provided by Dryad<\/li>\n<li>Drug Discovery information, provided by SciBite<\/li>\n<li>Laboratory materials, provided by AQnowledge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Utopia promotes additional knowledge discovery via the \u201cExplore\u201d function. This replaces the sidebar\u2019s contents with information related to whatever you\u2019ve selected within the article itself, such as genes, proteins, drugs, diseases, references, etc. These information sources include PubMed, Wikipedia, UniProt, Quertle, and NCBI databases\/tools. You can also search for terms and phrases not explicitly stated in the text of the article, such as from figures.<\/p>\n<p>Utopia also allows users to make private annotations to articles, or to provide public comments viewable by all Utopia users. The \u201cReflect\u201d tool highlights small molecules and proteins discussed within articles, with links to online data and definitions. The \u201cFigure Browser\u201d makes it easier to see the illustrations in an article. You can even interact directly with live data from articles in the Royal Society of Chemistry publications and <em>Biomedical Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You can download <a href=\"http:\/\/utopiadocs.com\/download.php\" target=\"_blank\">Utopia Documents<\/a> for Windows, Mac, or Linux free of charge.
