Library Research Support Service

 The Central Library, Rangapara College provides Research Support Service for strengthening the research activities by attending user queries related to various research guide tools like; Use of Electronic Resources, Grammar and Spelling Check (Grammarly) , Reference Style Guide (Mendeley, Zotero etc .), Author Identification/ ORCID, Citation Analysis (Scopus, WoS etc .)

 

Reference Management tools

 

The following are some reference management tools:

 

  • Mendeley Mendeley is a desktop and web program produced by Elsevier for managing and sharing research papers, discovering research data and collaborating online .
  • Zotero Zotero is a free, easy- to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources .
  • ZoteroBib ZoteroBib is a free service that helps you build a bibliography instantly from any computer or device, without creating an account or installing any software .
  • EndNote is a commercial reference management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles .
  • RefWorks is a commercial reference management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles .
  • Crossref makes research outputs easy to find, cite, link, assess, and reuse A not- for-profit organization that exists to make scholarly communications better .
  • NoodleTools It is an integrated tools for note- taking, outlining, citation, document archiving/annotation, and collaborative research and writing .
  • KnightCite KnightCite is a free site that automatically produce MLA, APA, or Chicago style citations for 28 types of sources It is provided by Hekman Library at Calvin College.
  • Qiqqa Qiqqa is award- winning free research management software, designed for commercial and academic researchers.

 

Bibliographic databases

Bibliographic databases, or indexing and abstracting databases, contain details of articles published in journals It also sometimes provide an abstract ( summaryor full text of the item Citation Indexes are a key research tool, providing access to multidisciplinary literature from high impact research journals .

Some of the useful bibliographic databases:

Choosing a citation style

For most papers, you will need to format your bibliography according to the citation style specified by your instructor or publisher Some of the commonly used citation styles include:

 

Research Impact & Metrics

 

Article -level metricsArticle-level metrics quantify the reach and impact of published research .

 

  • Citation countHow many times has your article been cited?
  • In what journals are they being cited?
  • Is the rate of citation steady over several years?
  • Field- weighted citation impact (FWCI ): Field- weighted citation impact divides the number of citations received by a publication by the average number of citations received by publications in the same field, of the same type, and published in the same year The world average is indexed to a value of 1. 00Values above 1 .00 indicate above- average citation impact, and values below 1.00 likewise indicate below -average citation impact.

 

Author -level metrics: Author-level metrics address an author s productivity and diversity of reach.

  • Scholarly outputHow many publications have you written?
  • Journal countIn how many distinct journals or journal categories have you published
  • What is your H- index?
  • How many times have you, as an author, been cited?

 

 

Journal or publisher metrics : Journal or publisher metrics address weights or prestige that particular publications are seen to carry Some measures include:

 

  • Journal Impact Factor : Journal Citation Reports to find the JIF used to rank journals It is important to note that only journals indexed in Web of Science are measured -- Web of Science journals are limited by discipline and type of journal.
  • SCImago Journal & Country Rank : SCImago Journal & Country Rank includes the journals and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus® database .
  • CiteScore CiteScore is Scopus's method of measuring the citation impact of journals It calculates the average number of citations received in a calendar year by all items published in that journal in the preceding three years .
  • Eigenfactor and Article Influence : Eigenfactor.org ranks the influence of journals and articles much as Google™ PageRank algorithm ranks the influence of web pages By this approach, journals are considered to be influential if they are cited often by other influential journals .
  • Google Scholar Metrics Google Metrics assigns an h5 -index to journalsThe h5-index is based on how many articles that journal has published and how many times articles have been cited .
  • Impact per publication (IPP): IPP gives you a sense of the average number of citations that a publication published in the journal will likely receiveIt measures the ratio of citations per article published in a journalUnlike the standard impact factor, the IPP metric uses a three year citation window, widely considered to be the optimal time period to accurately measure citations in most subject fields .

 

 

Altmetrics :

ALTMETRICS ( Alternative Metricsallow us to measure and monitor the reach and impact of scholarship and research through online interactions (primarily social media). Altmetrics are a complement to traditional metricsFor more info, please visit at Altmetric.com

Altmetric is a web- based service that allows anyone to track, search, and measure the conversations about their research happening online on an article- by-article basis Examples of some publishers that have incorporated altmetrics:

 

  • PubMed ( Medline and more)
  • arXiv. org
  • Academia. edu
  • Research Gate
  • Mendeley

Get a Researcher ID

 

Researcher Identifiers are designed to distinguish your research activities and outputs from those with similar names Some of are as follows:

 

ORCID

Scopus Author ID

ResearcherID (Web of Science)

Publons (Web of Science)

 

Create an Online Profile

Benefits of an online profile :

 

  • Collect your work in one place
  • Track citations of your work automatically
  • Allow users to Follow you and receive notifications of your new publications

 

Below are some of the options available online:

 

 

Creating a Google Scholar Profile has its own benefits because Google Scholar provides citation information from many disciplines and many types of publications journal articles, conference papers, books, chapters, and grey literature.
