Where to {find}{Conventional} library

flickr/mellydoll


Where to {find}

{Digital} library


Where to {find}

● Databases/indexes: Google Scholar[13]

Free, can be accessed anywhere, cloud based

Provides research profile, email notification

Mature platform

Massive results

Need more filtering

Limited analysis


Where to {find}

● Databases/indexes: Google Scholar[13]

● Email notification: for new citation or new papers


Where to {find}

● Email notification: for new citation


Where to {find}

● Email notification: new papers


Where to {find}

● How to {get} it?– Set up a Google

account

– Go to alert

– Go to alert

– Create alert

– Enter your keywords and email









Tweaking your keywords

● What is {keywords}?– Keywords are the words that academics use to

{reveal the internal structure} of an author's reasoning[11].



● What is {keywords search}?– Keyword research' is a practice used by search

engine optimization professionals to find and

research actual {search terms} people enter into the search engines when conducting a search[11].



● How to get keywords?

– {Read} and {listen} more





– Try {Google Trends} to get more combinations (http://www.google.com/trends/










– Use {operators}:● (AND) ------------------------> hydrogeology (AND) regional planning● (OR) ---------------------------> hydrogeology (OR) regional planning● “key 1 key 2” ------------------> “hydrogeology regional planning”● Allintitle: keywords –--------→ allintitle: hydrogeology regional planning● Allintext: keywords –--------→ allintext: hydrogeology regional planning● Author: “name” –-------------> author: Irawan, DE ; author: “Dasapta Erwin”● Site: “site” ----------------------> “hydrogeology regional planning” site:flickr.com● Filetype:“pdf, doc, xls, etc” → “hydrogeology regional planning” filetype:pdf

http://www.google.com/trends/





– Use {operators}:– Use {multiple} sets of keywords

– Use {advanced search} mode

http://www.google.com/trends/

Let's try it out

● Use database:

– Google Scholar

– Scopus

Which one to choose?

● Strongly depends on your {purpose}?



● Use the following {criteria}:

– Number of docs found: use one with the {lowest} results



● Use the following {criteria}:

– Number of docs found: use one with the {lowest} results

– Type of docs found: use one with the most {complete} types:

● Peer-reviewed papers● Conference proceedings● Technical reports

Now let's try using Scopus

● In class practice

How to store the information?

● {Citation info} is very important.

● What is {it}?● It's the {metadata} of a doc

● Contains {important info} of the doc: title, author, year, abstract, journal, etc



● What is {BibTex} format?

– Is one of the widely used citation info format

– Text {ASCII} based, so it's {universal}– You can use it with any citation manager apps:

Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, etc

– {RIS} format is also text based

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format)



● Are there any other citation info formats?

– Yes, it's called {binary} format

– It can only be read by specific associated app

– Eg: {ENL} (EndNote), etc

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EndNote



● How to get {citation info}?– Look for button or menu

– {Cite} or

– {Export citation} or

– {Download citation}





{Copy and paste} these lines into a text file

Save as {*.bib}

Then import it using “new item” from {Zotero}



● How to store {citation info}?

{Copy and paste} these lines into a text file

Save as {*.bib}

Then import it using “new item” from {Zotero}


How to store it?

Or,

There's other easier way

Use Zotero for Firefox add-on

Mendeley has it too

There's add-on for Chrome

But, AFAIK it doesn't work as smooth as in Firefox


Now let's try some exercise

Have you downloaded and installed Zotero's:

● standalone app?

● Firefox add-on

● LibreOffice/MsWord connector

● Go to Zotero.org


Now let's try some exercise

● Getting citation info from Google Scholar

● Getting citation info from Scopus

● Store it into Zotero Library



















































19 January 2015



Let's try some inclass exercise

● Go to to any other databases

● Eg:

– ArXiv.org

– Sciencedirect.com

– Proquest.com

– Etc


● Use your own sets of keywords


● Do some analysis

● Eg:

– How many docs in the results

– What types of doc

– How is the yearly distribution

– What are the author's affilitions

– What are the author's country of origins


● Store the citation in your Zotero library

● Attach the associated pdfs


● Try to make some notes on a selected paper
