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.
