There are two types of groups:
- Private: created for specific individuals (small groups). If you plan to share files (e.g. article PDFs), the group MUST be private when created and not after creating it.
- Public: Anyone may create a public group, and you may search for existing public groups. NOTE: Public groups ONLY allow sharing of citations, not files (e.g. PDFs).
