Citation Searching -- A Welch Lecture

Ever wonder how many times an article you have written has been cited? Maybe a colleague or mentor's articles? If this sounds like something you want to learn how to do, this lecture is for you!

Quosa -- A Welch Lecture

Downloading and organizing scientific literature and entering citation information into citation management software can be time-consuming. Trying to find information you know you read or even stored somewhere can be a challenge. QUOSA is a document- and search-results management and storage tool. Learn how you can use it to download PDFs automatically from PubMed, Ovid and many other databases; organize your PDFs, presentations and documents and save them with your preferred naming convention (e.g. author/journal/year); search all full-text and citation information within your saved results; and export entire folders into EndNote or Reference Manager -- or import them into QUOSA, including all available PDFs, in a copyright compliant manner.

RefWorks

RefWorks is a Web-based citation management tool for grants, CVs and manuscripts to which JHU has an institutional site license. Learn how to capture, manage, and work with citations. Learn RefWorks features and tools including tips on working collaboratively, how to move from Reference Manager or EndNote to RefWorks, and how to use the tool within the Hopkins environment
