Finding Information Framework for Occupational Therapy
This framework provides guidance for finding the right information resources by first categorizing the type of question, whether it is about basic science, clinical background, or a common or rare clinical issue. It then directs the user to different resources depending on the question, with basic science questions going to detailed literature searches and textbooks, while common clinical questions can be answered through point of care resources and apps. The goal is to match the right resource to the question in order to most efficiently find the needed information.
Altmetrics apples and oranges
I apply Ranganathan's 5 laws of library science to altmetrics, as part of a holistic research impact support service. I discuss what altmetrics are, what they measure, their uses throughout the research lifecycle, and where you can get them. I then apply Ranganathan's 4th law, saving the time of the user, to the harvesting of altmetrics by research information systems, embedding them at the point of need. The challenge of altmetrics is to change our concept of what an institutional repository is, from a simple container of research outputs to a smart system that harvests and catalogs a much broader range of output and impact data elements.
Pub med
PubMed is a free database of over 23 million citations and abstracts for biomedical literature from Medline, life sciences journals, and online books. It is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). PubMed provides bibliographic information and links to full-text content from publishers and libraries. Users can search PubMed using keywords, controlled vocabularies like MeSH, or advanced search techniques and filters to find relevant journal articles and resources.
Presence of iranian librarians in ELIS repository
The document analyzes the level of participation of Iranian librarians in the E-LIS repository. It finds that in 2008, Iran ranked 5th among Asian countries in terms of contributions to E-LIS, with 98 information sources. However, Iranian researchers' participation in E-LIS has increased approximately 2.5 times since then. Possible reasons for low Iranian involvement include lack of awareness of the repository, unwillingness to share research, or prioritizing administrative duties over contributions. The study concludes that while participation may increase visibility, topic relevance and quality are more important factors in receiving citations.
Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility
Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research, such as journal impact factors and article citations, have been supplemented in the past 5-10 years by the development of altmetrics (alternative metrics or article level metrics). Altmetrics measures impact of research, data and publications, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media. This presentation gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution. (Rhodes University is in Grahamstown, South Africa)

6 How to read research articles
What is a research article?
Before we talk about how to find research articles, we have to
agree on what we're looking for. We're looking for scientific
truth. Where do you get it? From a Trustworthy Authority? Give
me a break! (see rant).
Scientific truth resides in research articles. A research article is
one that provides observations or the observed results of
experiments (not merely conclusions) and a description of how
the experiments were performed, in sufficient detail that
someone else might replicate them. You will recognize them by
the detail paid to the methods on which the results were based.
A news report of a scientific finding is not a research article. It
doesn't describe how to do the experiment. A review article is
not a research article. It combines lessons learned from multiple
research articles but, again, does not describe how to do the
experiments it covers.
Strategies to find research articles
If you know the exact title of the article you're looking for, then:
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/why-find-research-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/how-to-read-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/trustworthy-authority.html
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/lsl/help/modules/review.html
• Your favorite search engine may be the fastest way to reach
the article (if you have its exact title). However, if you're
doing this from off-campus, the site you reach will not
recognize your IP address and not realize that you are a
member of the VCU community and thus deserving of the
full text of articles in journals to which VCU subscribes.
•
• VCU library general search facility is an excellent way of
getting most articles. If you are accessing it from off
campus, you'll be prompted for your eID and password if
needed. But no database is perfect, and you may sometimes
need to look elsewhere.
If you don't know the exact title, then:
• Using a search engines is generally a poor strategy -- too
low of a signal-to-noise ratio
•
• Google Scholar is much better but I haven't used it enough
to know how its database compares to others. Note that
Google Scholar allows advanced searches by clicking the
down arrow in the search box.
•
• For greater flexibility, try dedicated services, such as
PubMed and Web of Sciences.
There are two major strategies to use these indexes to find
research articles (plus one general fallback strategy):
• Keyword search: Looks for articles whose titles, abstracts,
or author lists contain a set of words that you supply. Used
by all the sites. This is what you're already used to.

Scholarly search vs.public
The document discusses scholarly vs public search engines that are useful for students and researchers. It provides descriptions of 15 scholarly search engines including Google Scholar, library databases, and other specialty search engines. Google Scholar is recommended as a starting point but has limitations. Other suggested search engines include academic databases, government databases, and archives of internet content. The document emphasizes that scholarly sources are generally more reliable for research than popular sources.
