EndNote: Managing Your Search Results
EndNote is a reference management tool that enables you to find, download and organize references in a personal, searchable database. With EndNote you can:
- import references from online databases such as PubMed and Web of Science,
- search for and edit references,
- insert references in manuscripts with Microsoft Word's Cite While You Write,
- create bibliographies, and
- choose from thousands of journal publishing styles to format references and bibliographies.
PubMed: Understanding the Basics
PubMed is the National Library of Medicine's premier bibliographic database of journal article citations and abstracts covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system and preclinical sciences. With PubMed you can:
- search the biomedical literature by topic, author and journal title,
- apply language, age and publication type limits,
- use MeSH, the Medical Subject Headings,
- view, print and download the full text of articles,
- request copies if full text is not available, and
- save references in EndNote or Reference Manager.
Scopus: Identifying Who's Citing Whom
Scopus indexes thousands of journals in the life and health sciences, social sciences, psychology, business, management, the physical sciences, engineering, and the earth and environmental sciences. With Scopus you can:
- identify which authors are being cited,
- search by topic to identify relevant articles,
- view, print and download articles or request copies,
- save references in EndNote or Reference Manager,
- store search requests, and
- create email alerts.
Web Search: Thinking Beyond Google
Go beyond the standard web search tools and learn to:
- search more efficiently,
- access the invisible web,
- evaluate websites,
- use image and non-text search engines,
- search for scholarly information, news, people and blogs,
- and customize search results.
