I maintain the Brede Wiki http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Main_Page which
is related to AcaWiki. I have topical pages, e.g., about Wikipedia
research http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Wikipedia where I record links to
research papers. On some pages I describe individual scientific papers
(like AcaWiki):
http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Detecting_Wikipedia_vandalism_with_active_learning_and_statistical_language_models
http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Category:Wikipedia
I keep structured information in templates and can generate BibTeX.
I also keep numerical data in csv pages, enabling numerical
computations, see, e.g., http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/MaND
