The Papers2 release was much anticipated, and without question in great part because of Papers Livfe. With the response to the Papers2 release being even more successful than anticipated, we ran into scaling concerns with Livfe. To ensure all users would have a troublefree experience taking their libraries Livfe, we made the decision to allow access to users in stages, after we made some more adjustments to the system.
Once it became clear we could not open up Livfe right after releasing Papers2, the team worked around the clock to get Livfe ready for the large influx of users. We are thrilled to finally say Livfe is live!
What’s Livfe all about?
If you have not used Livfe yourself yet, you might be wondering what Livfe really is all about. With Papers Livfe, you can create collections of papers you share with colleagues and friends. Collections can also be made public and shared with the world.
Livfe takes collaborations to a whole new level: working on a paper with a colleague across the world? Share a collection of references important for your work. Sharing can also take the shape of journal clubs or study groups, and Livfe is perfect for this as well. Any collection can become a Livfe collection and shared with any other Papers2 user. Through reviews and comments you can share your thoughts about each article with the other members of your collection.
How Livfe helps you share
Using Papers Livfe you share collections, and your personal reviews for the articles in your collection, with other Papers Livfe users. One central question users have been asking us is whether the PDF files associated with your library entries are shared. Unfortunately, there is no way we can share PDF files through Livfe for copyright reasons. What is shared in Livfe is the metadata for all the articles in your Livfe collection. Other members of your collection are lead to the publishers website to import the PDF themselves.
Our Livfe introduction
Livfe speaks for itself, and doesn’t need too much of an introduction, but we’ve created one anyways.
