Effective Search Techniques

Research Topic: Synthesis and evaluation of (i) potential inhibitors of cPLA2 and (ii) a fluorescence substrate of cPLA2 for imaging purposes cPLA2, inhibitors, fluorescence Identify the keywords in the topic cPLA2 / cytosolic PLA2/ Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) fluorescence/ fluorescent/ fluorogenic Find the synonyms / alternate terms of the keywords inhibit – inhibits – inhibitor  inhibit* Look for different variations of the keywords “cytosolic PLA2” Use phrase searching fluorescen* OR fluorogen* Use Boolean operators AND OR

Research Topic: Synthesis and evaluation of (i) potential inhibitors of cPLA2 and (ii) a fluorescence substrate of cPLA2 for imaging purposes Construct the search statement cPLA2 OR “cytosolic PLA2” inhibit* fluorescen* OR fluorogen* AND AND

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

EndNote – Insert references into Word document Cite while you write (CWYW) Methods: Insert citation via article search Insert selected citation(s) from EndNote
