On-line literature searching Mike Cushman TLC PhD Research Training Session 11 November 2009 Outline Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) web of knowledge Zetoc table of contents index Google Scholar Google Books International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS) Importing into EndNote LSE library catalogue and EndNote EndNote Web Zotero Before you start open endnote and create a temporary library (temp.enl) in the root directory of your H space 1
SSCI Most prestigious database of journals but does not include all journals (e.g. ITP and I&O not included) Was overtaken by others, but revamped with new interface, access to full text of articles and new analysis tools Log on to Web of Knowledge at http://wok.mimas.ac.uk/ Web of Knowledge Homepage Click here and to enter n.b. if accessing off site you will be redirected to a login page, select the shibboleth option 2

Selecting records to export Check the ones you are interested in Choose format for download and click export to reference software Or add records to marked list to download in bulk later; this also gives more download options Export window (at the bottom of the page) 15

Advanced search Example of syntax Marked list and saving to EndNote Always check these two This button exports to EndNote: Before you export create a new library (temp.enl) in the root directory of your H space to hold these references. After exporting you can clear the marked list 17
Article finder Takes you to the LSE e-library but it takes you there whether or not we have an online subscription 18
Other ISI resources JCR (Journal Citation Reports) how often journals are cited HighlyCited.com Virtually useless for social science and very US focussed (4033 results) only 52 researchers listed from UK, with only 4 from LSE- 3 economists, 1 statistician). Now has a link to the U.K.'s Citation Elite, 2003-07 same problems http://www.oclc.org/oaister/ OAIster 19
Scope of OAIster The records of the open archive digital resources available via OAIster lead to a wide range of materials and include: Digitized (scanned) books and journal articles Digital text Audio files (wav, mp3) Video files (mp4, QuickTime) Photographic images (jpeg, tiff, gif) Data sets (downloadable statistical information) Theses and research papers History of OAIster Searching OIAster At http://www.worldcat.org/advancedsearch 20
Only a few items available online Zetoc http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk/ Positives More comprehensive list of journals than SSCI Includes conference proceedings as well as journals Provides links to online copies of articles Can be used direct from EndNote Drawbacks No citations listings so cannot be used to explore a field of study No abstracts or keywords, so it limits searching ability 21

Google Scholar http://scholar.google.com/ Positives Many results including conference papers and working papers, if on line Uses familiar Google interface Has cited by option Drawbacks No link to endnote No fixed format database to allow follow up queries Ordered by relevance not date or title Use advanced search 25
Google results Google Books - http://books.google.co.uk/ Key advantage Helps locate chapters in edited books BUT need to sort these out from books that have a reference to the author s work Book by Avgerou Book citing Avgerou Book includes chapter by Avgerou Book includes chapter by Avgerou 26
Google Books - http://books.google.co.uk/ Four levels of view: 1. No preview 2. Snippet view a few lines 3. Limited preview a few pages 4. Full view whole book not many available See inside the book 27
But only if you are logged in You have to use your google.co.uk account Although you can log into your account via Google books, you can t create an account there To create an account go to Google Groups http://groups.google.co.uk/ Your Google.com account does not work, to use that account got to http://books.google.com International Bibliography of the Social Sciences Similar to ISI:SSCI except: Administered by LSE Very extensive collection on the social sciences, but limited to anthropology, economics, politics and sociology Cover few management or information systems journals But does cover Business and Management journals http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/ibss/about/journals_subject s/bus&manage_js.htm Links to full text through LSE article finder, but library e- journals is easier 28

SO - International studies in the philosophy of science. 20(1) 2006 March, 5-25. AB - How is scientific knowledge used, adapted, and extended in deriving phenomena and real-world systems? This paper aims at developing a general account of 'applying science' within the exemplar-based framework of Data-Oriented Processing (DOP), which is also known as Exemplar-Based Explanation (EBE). According to the exemplar-based paradigm, phenomena are explained not by deriving them all the way down from theoretical laws and boundary conditions but by modelling them on previously derived phenomena that function as exemplars. To accomplish this, DOP proposes to maintain a corpus of derivation trees of previous phenomena together with a matching algorithm that combines subtrees from the corpus to derive new phenomena. By using a notion of derivational similarity, a new phenomenon can be modelled as closely as possible on previously explained phenomena. I will propose an instantiation of DOP which integrates theoretical and phenomenological modelling and which generalise! s over various disciplines, from fluid mechanics to language technology. I argue that DOP provides a solution for what I call Kuhn's problem and that it redresses Kitcher's account of explanation. Reprinted by permission of Carfax Publishing, Taylor & Francis Ltd.
