2 ORIGINAL RESEARCH INFORMATION IN SCIENCE is published (stored) in PRIMARY LITERATURE it refers to the first place a scientist will communicate to the general audience in a publicly accessible document the results of scientific researches (scientific communication process)

3 PRIMARY LITERATURE IN SCIENCE is published/stored in academic publications (research papers) but also in patents theses, dissertations preprints technical reports unstructured data, preliminary findings

4 SECONDARY LITERATURE IN SCIENCE primary published information may be summarized and reviewed in review articles review series books

5 DEVELOPING A SEARCH STRATEGY focus the search by defining the kind of information needed: background information or new information type of information: articles, numeric data, spectra, subject area: biochemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry,

6 DEVELOPING A SEARCH STRATEGY according to the kind of information needed decide what resources you have to use journal articles handbooks data collection other sources

7 ORIGINAL RESEARCH INFORMATION IN CHEMISTRY 80% of world new information in chemistry is published in research articles or patents Source: Chemical Abstracts Service

8 ORIGINAL RESEARCH INFORMATION IN CHEMISTRY there are tools to use to retrieve and select scientific information for each kind of document type to retrieve articles we have to use bibliographic databases

9 BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES electronic archives of bibliographic records that refer to published academic literature the records are structured and organized and the databases are enriched with tools so users may search and retrieve what is published in a specific field of the knowledge

10 BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES they index papers published in academic journals mostly, but not only conference proceedings book chapters patents documents from open archives

11 BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES an ideal bibliographic database doesn t exist a bibliographic database is never exhaustive so.

12 BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES it is always advisable to search more than one bibliographic database when an exhaustive search is needed.

13 HOW CAN WE ACCESS BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES? Cerca Articoli e banche dati AIRE Portale Trova risorse

14 BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES we are going to deal with Web of Science Reaxys Pubmed

15 WEB OF SCIENCE AND SCOPUS are bibliographic multidisciplinary citation databases

16 CITATION DATABASES contain bibliographic records of the scientific papers citations to the scientific papers references of the scientific papers

17 CITATION DATABASES references paper cited papers past present future

18 CITATION DATABASES are tools for scientific information retrieval (they index the scientific literature) for the evaluation of the scientific research (they measure the number of times a publication has been cited they measure the number of times an author has been cited they measure the number of times a journal has been cited)

19 CITATION DATABASES allow to look backward in time (references cited in the work) look forward in time (works that cite the work) so you can discover the roots of a research topic as well as you can analyse its development

20 CITATION DATABASES Web of Science Scifinder Google Scholar (it s not properly a database)

22 COMPARISON OF JOURNALS INDEXED BY WEB OF SCIENCE AND SCOPUS (May 2012) from: JISC Academic Database Assessment Tool <

23 SCOPUS: A FEW NUMBERS CONTENTS (November 2012) 28 million records back to million records pre-1996 daily updates 2 million new records added each year

24 WEB OF SCIENCE SCOPUS coverage multidisciplinary multidisciplinary time range since 1996 with abstracts and citations bibliometrics

25 SCOPUS: PRE-1996 COVERAGE It indexes articles before 1996 from major publishers as well American Chemical Society Royal Society of Chemistry Elsevier Institute of Physics American Physical Society American Institute of Physics Nature Science It contains all records from Medline

26 SCOPUS: PROS it retrieves information from academic journals as well as from patents it indexes articles in press it can be searched by chemical name or CAS Registry Number it s fully integrated with Refworks it has an easier author indentification

27 SCOPUS: CONS full bibliographic records since 1996 (Web of Science since 1985) metrics since 1996 (Web of Science since 1990)

28 DOCUMENTS INDEXED BY SCOPUS it focuses on peer review articles (academic publications) but indexes also conference proceedings book series (Advances in ) patents documents from open archives scientific web sources
