Tweaking your keywords
●
What is {keywords}?
– Keywords are the words that academics use to
{reveal the internal structure}of an
author's reasoning[11].

●
What is {keywords search}?
– Keyword research' is a practice used by search
engine optimization professionals to find and
research actual {search terms}people
enter into the search engines when conducting
a search[11].

● How to get keywords?
– {Read} and {listen} more

– Try {Google Trends} to get more
combinations (http://www.google.com/trends/

– Try {Google Trends} to get more combinations (http://www.google.com/trends/
– Use {operators}:
● (AND) ------------------------> hydrogeology (AND) regional planning
● (OR) ---------------------------> hydrogeology (OR) regional planning
● “key 1 key 2” ------------------> “hydrogeology regional planning”
● Allintitle: keywords –--------→ allintitle: hydrogeology regional planning
● Allintext: keywords –--------→ allintext: hydrogeology regional planning
● Author: “name” –-------------> author: Irawan, DE ; author: “Dasapta Erwin”
● Site: “site” ----------------------> “hydrogeology regional planning” site:flickr.com
● Filetype:“pdf, doc, xls, etc” → “hydrogeology regional planning” filetype:pdf

– Try {Google Trends} to get more combinations (
http://www.google.com/trends/
– Use {operators}:
– Use {multiple} sets of keywords
– Use {advanced search} mode

Let's try it out
● Use database:
– Google Scholar
– Scopus

Which one to choose?
● Strongly depends on your {purpose}?

● Use the following {criteria}:
– Number of docs found: use one with the {lowest}
results

● Use the following {criteria}:
– Number of docs found: use one with the {lowest} results
– Type of docs found: use one with the most {complete}
types:
● Peer-reviewed papers
● Conference proceedings
● Technical reports

Now let's try using Scopus
● In class practice

How to store the information?
● {Citation info} is very important.
●
What is {it}?
●
It's the {metadata} of a doc
●
Contains {important info} of the doc: title,
author, year, abstract, journal, etc

●
What is {BibTex} format?
– Is one of the widely used citation info format
– Text {ASCII} based, so it's {universal}
– You can use it with any citation manager apps:
Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, etc
– {RIS} format is also text based

● Are there any other citation info formats?
– Yes, it's called {binary} format
– It can only be read by specific associated app
– Eg: {ENL} (EndNote), etc

●
How to get {citation info}?
– Look for button or menu
– {Cite} or
– {Export citation} or
– {Download citation}

{Copy and paste} these lines into a text file
Save as {*.bib}
Then import it using “new item” from {Zotero}

●
How to store {citation info}?
{Copy and paste} these lines into a text file
Save as {*.bib}
Then import it using “new item” from {Zotero}

How to store it?
Or,
There's other easier way
Use Zotero for Firefox add-on
Mendeley has it too
There's add-on for Chrome
But, AFAIK it doesn't work as smooth as in Firefox

Now let's try some exercise
Have you downloaded and installed Zotero's:
● standalone app?
● Firefox add-on
● LibreOffice/MsWord connector
● Go to Zotero.org

Now let's try some exercise
● Getting citation info from Google Scholar
● Getting citation info from Scopus
● Store it into Zotero Library

19 January 2015
A mini course_2_2

Let's try some inclass exercise
● Go to to any other databases
● Eg:
– ArXiv.org
– Sciencedirect.com
– Proquest.com
– Etc

● Use your own sets of keywords

● Do some analysis
● Eg:
– How many docs in the results
– What types of doc
– How is the yearly distribution
– What are the author's affilitions
– What are the author's country of origins

● Store the citation in your Zotero library
● Attach the associated pdfs

● Try to make some notes on a selected paper
