2. Citation Management Software EndNote and others
What is Citation Management? “Citation management tools are programs that collect records or citations from research databases (indexes, catalogs, etc.) that you can then organize for your research projects. They also help you cite your research by creating bibliographies, citations, and footnotes automatically.” - The University of Chicago Library: Citation Management Guide
Why Use Citation Management Tools? Keep research organized Share and collaborate Format bibliographies Able to search for PDFs for citations

3. Database searching Web of Science
Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection - 1970-present (NOAA-wide subscription) Journals, books, proceedings in sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities
Research Questions What affect does underwater noise from submarines have on false insular killer whales? At what level is toxoplasmosis lethal to monk seals? What other factors must be considered?
Search Strategy: Keywords What affect does underwater noise from submarines have on false insular killer whales? Identify the keywords in your search Come up with some alternative terms for your keywords Build search statements
Search Operators AND, OR, NOT, NEAR AND can be used in Topic field, but not Publication Name or Source NEAR cannot be used in Year Published field NEAR/X where x = number of words (default 15) All these are not case-sensitive: OR and Or and or is the same
Wildcards Asterisk ‘*’ represents any group of characters Hawaii* finds: Hawaii, Hawaiian, Hawaiians, Hawaii Island Question mark ‘?’ represents any single character Wom?n finds: women, woman Dollar sign ‘$’ represents zero or 1 character colo$r finds: color, colour
Phrase searching Exact phrases should be enclosed in quotation marks Phrases without quotes, will search for all terms individually in Title and Topic searches E.g. a Topic search for “energy conservation” vs energy conservation (which would also bring back conservation of energy) OK to use Wildcards, e.g. “energy conserv*” to bring back energy conservation and energy conserving; m$croeconomic = macroeconomic and microeconomic
