Managing References in EndNote

Introduction to reference management software A software that: stores and organises references from many sources inserts these references into a Word document automatically formats your references according to a predefined citation style

EndNote vs Mendeley EndNote X7 Mendeley Generates & updates the reference list automatically as you add more citations Generates the reference list when you want to More built-in compatibility with some databases (Web of Science, BIOSIS preview) Easier citation editing in Word (no hidden codes) EndNote LibGuide Mendeley LibGuide

EndNote Add references to EndNote Library Insert references into Word document Format according to the citation style required in Word

EndNote – Add references to EndNote Library Methods: Export references from database, e.g. Web of Science Import pdf documents with DOI to create references

Import PDF to EndNote

Managing References: Group vs. Smart Group Group (Your Filing Cabinet) Create folders to group (categorise) references Manually drag the reference to the group (considered “filed reference”) The same reference can be filed in more than one group Smart Group Automatically group references based on your search criteria, e.g. any field/author/year/title contains/is/word begins with…

Tips for Early Career Researchers

Additional Tips - Manage References, Get Published & Be Cited Attend publishing talks/workshops Use citation management software Find high impact journals Deposit work in NUS institutional repository Find who has cited your articles NUS Libraries organizes talks on getting your article published in peer reviewed journals. We encourage you to attend these talks & workshops by speakers in the field. The Library also offer classes on 2 popular management & bibliographic software EndNote & Mendeley to help manage your references. We can teach you tools to help you select which journals to publish in. These include Journal Citation Report in Web of Science & the Journal Matcher feature in EndNote Online. Our institutional repository is known as ScholarBank. Your theses & dissertations will be deposited in ScholarBank which is an open access repository. You are encouraged to submit to ScholarBank your publications including articles, conference papers. However, please do seek clearance form your publishers first. Please contact our ScholarBank Team for assistance. The Bibliometrics team was also set up to assist researchers in measuring their research impact. This includes standard metrics such as h-index, times cited, journal impact factor which are fundamental for compiling your CV. Some of you may be hired as research assistants to work on departmental benchmarking exercises. So come to our Citation metric classes usually held in April mid-term break. We will advertise all the classes we’ve just mentioned through our NUS mailers. So please keep a lookout for them!

Additional Tips - Increase Your Research Visibility Use a consistent name with initials for publications Maintain an updated CV containing a list of affiliations and publications Consider registration and linking to Researcher Bibliographic databases http://orcid.org/ http://www.researcherid.com There are a number of ways whereby you can increase the likelihood of being correctly “identified” and associated with your publications. Firstly, do use a consistent name with full initials whenever you submit your papers for publication. This would make it easier for others to retrieve your publications. However, when searching for an author, it is still important to search for name variations in the database. You may also maintain a current CV with a list of institutional affiliations and a complete list of your publications. Finally, you can also consider registering with Researcher Bibliographic databases, such as ResearcherID and ORCID and populating it with your publication list. You could then include a direct link to your profile in your webpage or signature as a means of increasing your visibility.

What is ORCID? Open Researcher and Contributor ID A persistent unique identifier –16  digits An “Online CV”

Benefits to you? The ORCID registry aims to prevent authorship confusion. Eliminate name ambiguity problem. ORCID enables researchers to create unique IDs for their profiles. Researchers often share similar names, and it is not uncommon for different scholars to share exactly the same name. This is particularly true for Chinese names. By registering and using an ORCID ID, you can easily distinguish yourself and assure that your work is attributed only to yourself Save time Publishers have started requiring ORCID IDs. Supporters of the ORCID initiative include major publishers that are increasingly incorporating ORCID into their workflows. Journal publishers (e.g. Nature Publishing Group, Taylor & Francis and Wiley) may request your ORCID iD during the manuscript submission process Increase research visibility. ORCID is indexed by Google Scholar You can also link it to the author systems used in key databases like Web of Science and Scopus. ORCID as a hub. connect many research activities including those belonging to funding agencies, publishers, repositories and article databases.

Journal Citation Report (JCR) A comprehensive and unique resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals Makes use of citation and article counts entirely from the Web of Science ® databases Note: It would not be possible to obtain a JCR impact factor of a journal that is not covered in the Web of Science ® databases

How to use JCR To Find: Data to use in JCR: Most frequently cited journals in a field Total Cites Highest impact journals in a field Impact factor To access JCR, click “Journal Citations Reports” on top of Web of Science Homepage

Journal Impact Factor Average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited

Conditions Influencing the Impact Factor Language of the journal Age of the publication Type and Number of “Citable” articles Publication schedule
