2. Citation Management Software

EndNote and others

What is Citation Management? “Citation management tools are programs that collect records or citations from research databases (indexes, catalogs, etc.) that you can then organize for your research projects. They also help you cite your research by creating bibliographies, citations, and footnotes automatically.”

• The University of Chicago Library: Citation

Management Guide

13

Why Use Citation Management Tools?

• Keep research organized
• Share and collaborate
• Format bibliographies
• Able to search for PDFs for citations

3. Database searching

Web of Science

Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection - 1970-present (NOAA-wide subscription)

• Journals, books, proceedings in sciences, social

sciences, arts and humanities

22

Research Questions

• 1. What affect does underwater noise from submarines

have on false insular killer whales?

• 2. At what level is toxoplasmosis lethal to monk seals?

What other factors must be considered?

23

Search Strategy: Keywords

What affect does underwater noise from submarines have

• n false insular killer whales?
• Identify the keywords in your search
• Come up with some alternative terms for your

keywords

• Build search statements

24

Search Operators AND, OR, NOT, NEAR

• AND can be used in Topic field, but not Publication

Name or Source

• NEAR cannot be used in Year Published field
• NEAR/X where x = number of words (default 15)

All these are not case-sensitive: OR and Or and or is the same

25

Wildcards Asterisk ‘*’ represents any group of characters

• Hawaii* finds: Hawaii, Hawaiian, Hawaiians, Hawaii

Island Question mark ‘?’ represents any single character

• Wom?n finds: women, woman

Dollar sign ‘$’ represents zero or 1 character

• colo$r finds: color, colour

26

Phrase searching Exact phrases should be enclosed in quotation marks Phrases without quotes, will search for all terms individually in Title and Topic searches

• E.g. a Topic search for “energy conservation” vs

energy conservation (which would also bring back conservation of energy)

• OK to use Wildcards, e.g. “energy conserv*” to bring

back energy conservation and energy conserving;

• m$croeconomic = macroeconomic and

microeconomic
