Programme Outline Effective Search Techniques Retrieving Information from Web of Science Obtaining Full-text (NUS Libraries subscription) Book vs Journal Citations Managing References in EndNote Avoid Plagiarism Additional Tools & Resources Retrieving Information from Reaxys

1. Effective Search Techniques

Research Topic: Supramolecular Chemistry of Gold(I) Complexes supramolecular, gold(I), complexes Identify the keywords in the topic gold(I) OR Au(I) Find the synonyms / alternate terms of the keywords complexes – complex  complex* Look for different variations of keywords “gold(I)” “Au(I)” Use phrase searching “gold(I)” OR “Au(I)” Use Boolean operators Inorganic AND OR

Research Topic: Supramolecular Chemistry of Gold(I) Complexes Construct the search statement supramolecular “gold(I)” OR “Au(I)” complex* AND Inorganic AND

3. 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

EndNote – Format according to the citation style required in Word APA 6th ACS EndNote LibGuide for installation instructions, step-by-step guides and details of EndNote workshops
