Part 2 of a 2-part tutorial for CHEM381, covering: SciFinder and Web of Knowledge; Scopus; other types of documents;

1. More Chemistry Tips The Cage-Match edition for CHEM381 – 2011 Week 2

2. Last week we covered… Comparison of Google Scholar and SciFinder Google’s much faster, but less ideal information Finding authors, who published on specific topics is easier in SciFinder Some other databases Drawing structures on ChemSpider

3. Today we want to cover… Keeping a log Note where you’re searching, what keywords/options you search with, and what kinds of results you’re getting ACS writing style

4. Cage match! The Literature Doesn’t say if the full text is there Can refine by topic, document type, etc Lots of ways to sort Who’s cited who Need to fiddle around more to find options. egcitings– don’t stick out Lots of links to follow to view articles Can make a citation map More results / less results Type in area of research and get heaps of results Search for exactly what you want – language, year, author, etc “Keep me posted” for new research Who’s cited who More results / less results

5. Lots of recent articles More refined – seemed more relevant, not so general Doesn’t highlight the search terms/keywordsin results summary but does in the abstract Looks like acquiring PDFs might be easier (with a few glitches) Sorted by year – get the most up-to-date Can refine search Includes pre-prints Got *lots* more results than the others – similar level of relevance “Related documents” – based on shared references Scopus

6. Review articles – SciFinder

7. More Review articles

8. Theses - SciFinder

13. Evaluating Resources Is it… and... relevant? Who is it written for? basic/advanced? What kind of research is it? How far along is the research? up-to-date? What questions haven’t they answered yet? accurate?

14. Citing – ACS style

15. Citing

19. Summary How to access SciFinder Scopus, Web of Science – through Library > Databases Find bibliographies for authors, and patents, through databases Structure of how journals/companies/databases fit together AND/OR/NOT – AND most useful * after a word egaccumulat* -> accumulates, accumulation
