Reference Management Software: An Introduction to Zotero and MendeleyVenkitachalam Sriram
Reference Management Software: An Introduction to Zotero and Mendeley by V. Sriram. In Two day Workshop on Academic Writing and Publishing, The Kerala State Higher Education Council, October 24-25, 2014.
As a researcher, you are expected to start publishing early in your career. But original research could take years to complete! This does not mean you that you cannot publish a paper until you complete your research. You can disseminate your research in many other ways. These slides will help you learn more about the different types of scholarly literature so that you are able to choose the most suitable format for publishing your study.
Scopus is Elsevier’s abstract and citation database launched in 2004. Scopus covers nearly 36,377 titles from approximately 11,678 publishers, of which 34,346 are peer-reviewed journals in top-level subject fields: life sciences, social sciences, physical sciences, and health sciences
Use of reference management tools in Reserch : Zotero and MendeleyDr Shalini Lihitkar
This presentation endevours to throw a light on how to use RMT in Research. Describes in detail about how to install and various functions of Zotero and Mendeley alongwith creating web account in both the software.
Reference Manager Software for managing your review references and collaboration (with an introduction to Mendeley)
Presenter: Dr. Amy Price, MA, MSc, Ph.D. – DPhil student, Department of Primary Health Care Sciences and Department of Continuing Education, The University of Oxford
Amy Price is a Trustee of the ThinkWell charity where she leads the PLOT-IT (Public Led Online Trials-Infrastructure and Tools) project. Her goal is to build clear channels to propel evidence into practice by supplying the public, and those in low resource areas, with tools to make evidence-based healthcare choices. Responsible shared decision-making requires access to standardized and accurate shared knowledge. Her desire is to mentor others to reach their full potential. Amy’s experience has shown her that shared knowledge, interdisciplinary collaboration and evidence-based research is the voice that will shape and develop the future. Her background in international relief work, clinical neurocognitive rehabilitation, service on the boards of multiple patient and medical organizations, and as a trauma survivor has equipped her with the flexible mindset to relate to all stakeholders and cultures and to adapt quickly to new technology and help others bridge this gap.
Reference Manager Software for managing your review references and collaboration
Summary: Sharing, editing and managing review references with multiple authors who use different operating systems and software can be a rewarding but daunting task. This hands-on workshop will share tips and tricks for simple ways of organizing, sharing, importing and exporting references and full PDFs across multiple software packages.
Methods: You will be introduced to the use of bibliographic tools, with a specific emphasis on Mendeley (a free cross-platform, multi-device reference manager program) and Google Scholar. The workshop includes an introduction to the basic functions: importing pdf's, web importer, reading and annotating, Word plugin and literature search. Easily develop a research network to manage your papers online, discover research trends and statistics, and to connect with like-minded researchers.
Purpose: This workshop is useful for those who are starting your first review as well as for those of us who have done multiple research projects but find it easier to search on Google than find the resources already saved on the computer. The tools demonstrated can be used on a computer, tablet or even a smartphone.
The academic search engine provides search results by localizing the scientific results required by the user. There are various types of search engines with different characteristics.

Scholarly video journals to increase productivity in research and educationNASIG
The biological and medical research chronically suffers from the low reproducibility of experimental studies since the traditional text format of science journals cannot provide an adequate description of details and nuances of complex experimental procedures. This creates a critical “bottleneck” problem of knowledge transfer for research and education. Addressing this challenge, a new generation of science journals employs video online to provide a systematic visualized publication of experimental studies. Visualization through video greatly facilitates the understanding and learning of experimental procedures enhancing knowledge transfer and productivity in research and education. The video-based publication in the rigorous academic format requires a new set of concepts and technical approaches to production, publication and dissemination processes. As the publisher of Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), the first video journal for biological sciences indexed in MEDLINE and PubMed, I would like to provide an overview of the growing field of video publication and discuss its technical challenges, implications for scholarly communication and acceptance in the academic and library community.
Presenters: Moshe Pritsker, JoVE
This presentation was used to explain how Wolfram Alpha was born, how it can be used in many fields and create a discussion thread on what kind of implications can computational knowledge have in the future.

Criteria for open access publishing and indexing in DOAJClara Armengou
DOAJ uses a carefully selected set of criteria to assess 3 different kinds of quality of open access journals:
1) quality of the publishing process , 2) quality of open access conditions, 3) quality of scientific content
It may seem simple but there is more to Google searching than you think! This presentation provides tips and tricks to help you develop the skills to best find the information you seek online. Learn the art of keyword choice, how to use advanced operators and explore the world of Google Scholar.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

23. Searching Tips-Phrase Searching
• There are two options for searching a phrase:
– Loose phrase search – double quotes “ “
– Exact phrase search – single quotes ‘ ‘
• Loose phrase search – enclose in double quotes
– Will search for documents where the words are adjacent to each other
– Does not insert the AND operator
– Will ignore punctuation, e.g, hyphens or apostrophes,
• e.g., “heart-attack” will find docs with and without the hyphen
• “C++” or “C” will find the same results
• Exact phrase search – enclose in single quotes
– Stop words, punctuation, special characters and wildcards are searched
– ‘C++’ will only return docs with this exact character combination
– ‘C’ will return different results
– Searching for quotation marks requires a before the actual quotation mark
