3. Effective Search Techniques 3

4. biotoxins – neurotoxin – mycotoxin  *toxin* Look for different variations of keywords “biological sensor” Use phrase searching biosensor: biological sensor Find the synonyms / alternate terms of the keywords biosensor OR “biological sensor” Use Boolean operators biosensor, biotoxins Identify the keywords in the topic ANDOR Research Topic: Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins 4

5. Construct the search statement Refer to your handout Research Topic: Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins 5

6. Retrieving Information from Web of Science 6

7. Perform a search in Web of Science 7

8. Evaluation of Search Results: Finding Highly Cited Papers 8

9. Evaluation of Search Results: Finding Potential Collaborators Find the most prevalent authors, organisations (institutions) or countries in a particular field of study based on search query 9

10. Plagiarism 10

11. Avoid Plagiarism “In NUS, it is defined as the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.” Source: Plagiarism | Breeze presentation by Centre for English Language CommunicationPlagiarism “Plagiarism is a deliberate activity – the conscious copying from the work of others without acknowledgement.” Source: Avoiding Plagiarism | Breeze presentation by Dr Yang Ying, Centre for English Language CommunicationAvoiding Plagiarism 11

12. Avoid Plagiarism For more information: Visit the NUS Plagiarism Prevention website, which offers a self- checked plagiarism prevention software called iThenticate.NUS Plagiarism Prevention website View the NUS e-module on academic culture and plagiarism here.here 12

13. Managing References in EndNote 13

14. 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 14

15. EndNote X7Mendeley 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 vs Mendeley EndNote LibGuideMendeley LibGuide 15

16. EndNote Add references to EndNote LibraryInsert references into Word document Format according to the citation style required in Word 16

17. EndNote – Add references to EndNote Library Methods: Export references from database, e.g. Web of Science Import pdf documents with DOI to create references 17

18. Managing References: Custom vs. Smart Groups  Custom Groups (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 Groups  Automatically group references based on your search criteria, e.g. any field/author/year/title contains/is/word begins with… 18

19. Edit & Manage Citations (Creating Groups) 19

20. EndNote – Insert references into Word document Cite while you write (CWYW) Methods: Insert citation via article search Insert selected citation(s) from EndNote 20

21. EndNote – Format according to the citation style required in Word EndNote LibGuideEndNote LibGuide for installation instructions, step-by-step guides and details of EndNote workshops APA 6th ACS 21

22. Edit & Manage Citations (Remove citation using EndNote) 22

23. EndNoteX7 in MS Word 2013 (Recap) 23

24. Tips for Early Career Researchers 24

25. 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 25

26. 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.scopusfeedback.com http://orcid.scopusfeedback.com  http://www.researcherid.com http://www.researcherid.com 26

27. 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 Journal Citation Report (JCR) 27

28. To Find:Data to use in JCR: Most frequently cited journals in a fieldTotal Cites Highest impact journals in a fieldImpact factor How to use JCR To access JCR, click “Journal Citations Reports” on top of Web of Science Homepage 28

29. Average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited Journal Impact Factor 29

30. Conditions Influencing the Impact Factor Language of the journal Age of the publication Type and Number of “Citable” articles Publication schedule 30
