Web of Science is a multidisciplinary database that lists articles from internationally leading journals, conference proceedings, and books in the fields of natural sciences, technology, and the humanities. The database can be used to conduct comprehensive literature searches, to identify connections between articles via citation networks, and to find experts in your field of research. In addition, you can receive information on the latest literature related to your research topic on a regular basis. The short presentation will provide you with an overview of how to use Web of Science efficiently in your literature searches.

Boolean or neighbourhood operators, truncations, filtering search results – there are many ways to create a precise search query. We will show you how to use them successfully and provide information on potential pitfalls.

Speaker:

Monica Gonzalez-Marquez (Central Library FZJ)

As the result of a literature search, you will receive a list with bibliographic information and abstracts, out of which you must identify the articles that are relevant for you. We will present a method for reading abstracts efficiently and using the information gained from them for your documentation.

Reference management programs facilitate the preparation of academic papers by allowing both the storage of the sources used and the automatic creation of bibliographies. They help you to keep track of the references used and to work more efficiently. We will show you the advantages of working with reference management programs, and introduce you to RWTH University Library’s Reference Management Helpdesk service.
