16 PREPRINT SERVER Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

17 preprint servers - arxiv important scientific role: preprint servers all types of articles available uploaded prior to peer-review freely accessible without subscription might only be feasible to experienced scientist due to 'everyone can publish' philosophy high number of papers might be confusing to beginners! most famous: arxiv (Cornell Library), esp. category physics.optics Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

18 LITERATURE MANAGEMENT Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

19 Literature management now you have gained an overview by looking into a basics textbook got deeper by crosschecking original references therein indentified people / research groups in the topic stay up to date with e-alerts & custom news feeds HOW TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THOSE PAPERS??? Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

20 Literature management use bibliographic management software! What is it? BMS manages all your references in a database eases citation of a paper by integration into word processing software ('click + cite') provides tools for annotating, grouping, sorting & searching papers you work with most prominent: BibTeX (quasi-standard), EndNote, Mendeley, Qiqqa, see list here Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

21 Literature management How does it work? publishers provide reference data for a paper this is imported into BMS which does the rest Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

22 Literature management Example: BibTeX & JabRef: BibTeX data for this paper JabRef myrefs.bib BibTeX database file Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

23 Literature management Example: BibTeX & JabRef: Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June

24 Literature management Annoyed of importing the bibtex data? Looking for a 'one click' solution? Try Mendeley can import ref data directly from a website! can scan a PDF automatically! (Drag & Drop) can synchronize among different PCs & web via client server communication synchronizes with a bib file automatically if you wish! brings MS Word & Open Office plugins for direct citation (very easy!) it's truly amazing... :-) Exploring Scientific Databases Seminar Introduction to Nanooptics SS12 Thomas Kaiser 5 June
