More about this add-on

This add-on is a plugin for the research sources management tool Zotero, which is also a Firefox extension. The add-on automatically fetches number of citations of sources from Google Scholar and makes it possible to sort your sources by citations. Moreover, it allows batch updating of citations as they may change over time.
Currently, Zotero doesn't have any special field for the number of citations, that's why it is stored in the field "Call Number". To sort by this field you have to add it in the source listing table.

Academic reference management software for researchers | Mendeley

Academic reference management software for researchers | Mendeley 

 

Couldn't remember how to spell this the other day for my workshop and thought I had mentioned it in my blog.... So to make sure I can find it when I need it.

 

This is a really good (free!) tool for indexing and getting the bibliographic information from PDF's.  Zotero can do this as well with some configuration. 

Haven't really used either recently to compare... but will put it on my list of things to do.

Let me know if you have questions/comments.

Help -- Papers on the Mac

Do you know if anyone else here at ISU is using Papers successfully (off campus) to connect with WoS?

I have been trying to help someone and the information provide by Harvard has helped but we still aren't there .... so I thought I'd ask....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.....

  • Transfer up to 5,000 records to EndNote
  • New Japanese interface
  • Continued performance improvements
  • Improved formatting for records with certain extended characters

The workshop will cover creating an account, getting references into EndNote Web and creating bibliographies.

The workshop will be repeated in March and April, but the dates for these have not been finalized.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks -- Stephen

EndNote Web -- Sharing

 

One of the features with EndNote Web is the ability to share references with others -- specifically by providing the e-mail address of the people you wish to share references.  To do this you go to the Manage My Groups under the Organize tab within EndNote Web.  There is a button entitled Manage Sharing, click this and enter the e-mail addresses of the people you wish to share the group of references with...You also need to determine whether you wish to provide read only or read write access to your group of references.   Then click apply and close the window.  .

sharing1

Even though you have entered the e-mail addresses, you need to click on the  share box next to the  "Manage Sharing" button.  Unless you click on this button, you will not be sharing the library.  You can tell by the little people  icon sharing next to the group indicating it is being shared.  This icon also shows up next to the group under the My References tab.

So be sure that this icon is displayed on the group or you will not be sharing the group.

Thanks -- Stephen

Article - Are Bibliographic Management Software Search Interfaces Reliable?: A Comparison between Search Results Obtained Using Database Interfaces and the EndNote Online Search Function

Are Bibliographic Management Software Search Interfaces Reliable?: A Comparison between Search Results Obtained Using Database Interfaces and the EndNote Online Search Function

via ScienceDirect Publication: The Journal of Academic Librarianship on 1/27/10

Publication year: 2010
Source: The Journal of Academic Librarianship, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 27 January 2010
Megan, Fitzgibbons , Deborah, Meert
The use of bibliographic management software and its internal search interfaces is now pervasive among researchers. This study compares the results between searches conducted in academic databases' search interfaces versus the EndNote search interface. The results show mixed search reliability, depending on the database and type of search performed.

EndNote Web Accounts

 

I have had a number of queries about people who have had trouble creating EndNote Web accounts especially from off campus.  This seems to be a problem related to authenticating the account holder as a member of the university community. 

There are two possible solutions

(1) set-up the account from on campus - once you do this you can access it and use it from anywhere, or

(2) create an account for EndNote Web by accessing the Web of Knowledge or Web of Science database from off campus -- you will need to authenticate (logon with your library id and pin number) to get access to this database -- then you can register for a Web of Science account which will also allow you to use EndNote Web. 

Instructions and a related video for this second method are available on the EndNote Web research guide (http://instr.iastate.libguides.com/endnoteweb).  This video starts at the Web of Science page, so it excludes the process of logging in and authenticating,

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks -- Stephen

WebCite

WebCite 

"This is another product similar to iCyte (http://www.icyte.com/") or the preserving web pages such as with Zotero except it is available to reviewers.  -- HSM"

WebCite®?

WebCite®, a member of the International Internet Preservation Consortium, is an on-demand archiving system for webreferences (cited webpages and websites, or other kinds of Internet-accessible digital objects), which can be used by authors, editors, and publishers of scholarly papers and books, to ensure that cited webmaterial will remain available to readers in the future. If cited webreferences in journal articles, books etc. are not archived, future readers may encounter a "404 File Not Found" error when clicking on a cited URL. Try it! Archive a URL here. It's free and takes only 30 seconds.

A WebCite®-enhanced reference is a reference which contains - in addition to the original live URL (which can and probably will disappear in the future, or its content may change) - a link to an archived copy of the material, exactly as the citing author saw it when he accessed the cited material.

iCyte - Home

Not sure about this since it doesn't really help in the citing of web pages, but often times you would want to preserve the web page of a cite you are referencing.  I know of a similar tool but I cannot recall the name right now --  I think I have it listed on my personal blog (http://lib-quide.blogspot.com/) so I will try and remember to pull it up...HSM

# iCyte enables you to highlight and save text on any webpage, allowing you to recall the most relevant information. You can save sections of webpages or the whole thing. # Powerful search tools Webpages you Cyte are saved on our server, letting you return to your research even if the webpage has been deleted or modified. # Simple user sharing Invite colleagues and friends to join your projects, discover new research, and share information.
