This was the first training session I did for using Mendeley as a Reference Management software after being inducted into the Mendeley Advisors' Group. The target group for this presentation was Master's students with no prior experience of doing research or using reference management software. These students had applied for competitive grants to the Research Capacity Building Program being run by the India Research Initiative on Peri-Urban Human-Animal-Environment Health (which employs me at the time of uploading this presentation). In addition to providing them with seed funding to support their Master's theses, the Capacity Building Program also provided multiple opportunities for learning, networking and skill building, including a workshop on the Basics of EcoHealth Research Methods, in course of which this presentation was made.

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

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Now we will watch the short video about What is Mendeley
Before we begin our session. I would ask everyone of you to fill in the pre-training survey form.
I would like to introduce a little bit history of Mendeley
Mendeley founded in November 2007 by three German PhD students and is based in London.
The first public beta version was released in August 2008.
The team comprises researchers, graduates, and developers from a variety of academic institutions.
The company’s investors include the former executive chairman of Last.fm, the former founding engineers of Skype, and the former Head of Digital Strategy at Warner Music Group, as well as academics from Cambridge andJohns Hopkins University.
Mendeley has won several awards in 2009 and The Guardian ranked it #6 in "Top 100 tech media companies"
Mendeley works on all major platforms (including iOS so you can work on the go) and with all major browsers.
“Let’s talk about how you can get started with Mendeley, and how you can import your files and references into Mendeley.”
‘If you go to Mendeley.com and click ‘Create Account’, you will be prompted to download Mendeley Desktop, which is the offline library in which you manage your articles.
Your articles will also be synced to your online account, which makes it easy to access them from anywhere. Once you have installed Mendeley, you can begin to build your library.”
“This is what your Desktop Library looks like. In the center you see a list of any articles you have imported into Mendeley.”
“Mendeley makes it easy to add documents. You have a variety of options. The easiest way is to drag and drop a file right into Mendeley. You can also click ‘Add Files’ to add a specific article to your library, or add an entire folder at once. If you choose to watch a folder, Mendeley will automatically import any articles you add to that folder in the future. Mendeley will extract meta data for you and search databases to fill in any gaps.”
“If you’re already using a reference manager like EndNote, Zotero or RefWorks, you can import your entire library into Mendeley so you don’t have to worry about losing your existing references. Other ways to import files include using the Web Importer, and finding articles in Mendeley’s own Research Catalog.”
*DEMO? Exit .ppt and show your group how to import some files. Be sure to have files prepared that are relevant to your group, that are not already in your library, and that import with a lot of details, to showcase this feature.
“When you add documents to your library, they aren’t always imported with 100% of the data, but this is easy to fix. Mendeley will find information based on the DOI, PubMed, or ArXiv ID, and you can add further data by telling Mendeley to search Google Scholar. At any time, you can edit fields manually as well.

*DEMO? Exit .ppt and show your group how to import some files. Be sure to have files prepared that are relevant to your group, that are not already in your library, and that import with a lot of details, to showcase this feature.
The Web Importer works like a bookmark, only when you click to bookmark an article, it’s saved to your Mendeley Library instead. To install the Web Importer, go to mendely.com/import (also linked from Mendeley’s home page), and simply drag the ‘Save to Mendeley’ button to the bookmark. Done!
“Whenever you come across an interesting article, or when you do a search on Google Scholar or other sites, you can click ‘Save to Mendeley’ to make a window pop up. In this window, save any references you want to keep in one click. Mendeley will also save the PDF to your library if it’s available.”
*DEMO OPPORTUNITY
“Unlike many other reference managers, Mendeley syncs your library between devices, and online. That means that Mendeley Desktop and Mendeley Web update each other, so that you always have access to the most recent versions of your articles and notes, even if you’re not on your own computer. Your library is always secure and not visible to anyone else, but syncing does allow Mendeley to analyze your library anonymously, and to make customized suggestions for you on request. This way you can discover other research in your field and see which articles are the most popular right now.”
*DEMO OPPORTUNITY
“Let’s talk about how you can manage the articles in your library.”
Mendeley Desktop’s Files organizer
Keep a copy of your Mendeley library with organized file name structure and folder structure you set up.
In Mendeley Desktop you can:
Create Folders to organize your work
Mark papers read or unread
Open attached pdfs and other documents
Star favorites
View type of doc attached
Open PDF files in the Mendeley viewer so you can add notes and highlight text.
“Locate documents easily by using the search field in the top right. You can filter your results by author, title, etc. You can also find articles by filtering the list on the left. For example, you can see all works by a single author, or all articles related to “protein” or any other tag you choose to make.”
“In the full text viewer, you can search through your text by keyword.”
You can also highlight your text or annotate the article by adding sticky notes.
“If you select a word or piece of text and click ‘Define’, Mendeley will retrieve definitions and explanations from Wikipedia.”
“Mendeley’s Citation Plug-in helps you cite references as you’re writing new research. No more tedious hours spent checking style guides and manually writing your bibliographies. Mendeley does it all for you.”
“Installing the Citation Plug-in takes only a single step. In Mendeley Desktop, click ‘Install MS Word Plugin’, and Mendeley will do the rest. Now open your Word processor and you’ll see the Mendeley toolbar.”
“When you’re ready to add a citation to your paragraph, click ‘Insert of Edit Citation’. A new window will pop up. Type in the name of the author, title or year, and Mendeley will show you a list of matches. Select the text you want, and click ‘OK’ to add the citation in Word.
“When you’re done writing and ready to add a bibliography, click ‘Insert Bibliography’ in the Mendeley Toolbar. Mendeley will then generate your bibliography for you. You can specify the appropriate citation style for your field in the drop down menu. If you’ve already written your article and suddenly need to submit it to a journal that uses a different format, you can change your entire bibliography and all of your references in one second by picking a different style from the menu.
Mendeley lets you:
Discover new research
Get recommendations
See the impact of articles on the research community.
“You can find new research by searching the Mendeley research catalog, which is generated by the citations that are synced to the cloud and then made publically searchable. There are over 200+ Million documents in the database making it the worlds largest open research database. Mendeley organizes research as it is added to the database- look at the most popular papers, or the latest added. You can also browse by discipline, do keyword searches or advanced searches.”
“You can also search the catalog online or browse by discipline. This article, on “How To Choose a Good Scientific Problem”, has been read by more than 50,000 people on Mendeley.”
When you click on a paper you are taken to this page, where you can:
See a pdf preview of the paper (we work with publishers to make these available, so available for some not all papers)
Add the article with one click to your library, if it is freely available
If the article is not freely available, Mendeley will link to other locations or help you find it in the various databases to which your institution is subscribed
Mendeley will also show you social statistics to help you learn about other people who have used this paper, and Mendeley will suggest related research that might be of interest to you.
“If you would like more recommendations, you can use Mendeley Suggest, an intelligent algorithm that calculates, on the basis of your library, what articles you might be interested in reading. You can access Mendeley Suggest in your Mendeley Desktop, at the top left.”
“What makes Mendeley unique is the ways in which you can collaborate with others and discover new research. Share papers, makes note on the same article, and meet new researchers in your field.”
*DEMO OPPORTUNITY
Mendeley Web is a social network so a great way to start networking is to build your professional research profile. Here you can showcase your research, receive statistics on your publications, and connect with other researchers and colleagues. Think of it as an academic alternative to LinkedIn.
You can connect to people on Mendeley through three different types of groups. There are:
Public open groups- These are searchable on the Mendeley Groups page. Anyone can join and anyone can add citations or make comments in newsfeed. Instead of joining the group you can also follow it, which allows you to access the group’s references from your Mendeley Library.
Invitation-only Public Groups. These are similarly searchable on Mendeley.com, but you can only join by requesting permission from the owner.
3. Private groups, these are just that-private. They are not searchable on Mendeley Groups page, no one on the network knows they exist or who is in them. The owner must invite people to join, and members must accept to join the group. These groups are perfect for collaboration, because you can share full text documents and collaborate on research, for example annotating articles. There are limited numbers of these groups, and there is a limit to the number of members you can create.
In a private group in Mendeley Desktop you can:
View full text papers
Collaboratively annotate and highlight documents
Collaboratively write papers using Mendeley’s citation plugin
After you’ve added work, sync your Mendeley library to make your changes available to other group members
*DEMO OPPORTUNITY
On Mendeley Web you can:
Search the groups page for public groups that interest you
Create and manage your groups online
You can also browse popular groups by discipline, allowing you to discover new groups you might not have come across before.
