Thank you for announcing this. It is very impressive in its functionality and its scope. I find the "Scholars" section especially successful, where you can see the author, get a link to their institutional homepage, e.g. http://www.economistsonline.org/scholar?partner=ucd-ie&partnerId=ucd-ie&scholarId=Finbarr.Brereton. They even have current email addresses, but the link in this particular record is broken.

But it works great otherwise. The only suggestion I would make would be to add a section for comments for a type of post or open peer review and other types of discussion.
