>> For this fourth single lab,

we're going to talk about tools that

you can use to be a more
effective researcher.

One tool that is really useful and

helps you be more efficient is
a citation management software.

I'm going to talk about three different
kinds of citation management software.

But before we get there, I want to
show you how you download the metadata

on articles and books that
you're finding so that

then you can use the citation
management software.

This is an article that I found
in our catalog in USEARCH,

and I looked at the article,

and I read the abstract and
this looks really good.

It's related to interdisciplinary work.

I am going to do an
EndNote to basic download.

When I click that,

it will automatically send over the
information on that article to my EndNote,

which is already opened and
I'll show you that in a minute.

Another way to do that is,

if you're in a database that doesn't
have a direct export to EndNote,

you can do, "Cite this item," and
you have other options down here.

This RIS file is a generic format and it

works really well with Zotero and I have

a Zotero connector installed in my browser.

It's saying, "you want to put
this into Zotero," and then I

can click "Boundary Crossing" and

now it's saving it to my
Boundary Crossing folder.

That's another way through a journal.

Not all the journals have direct exports,

some of them do, so I'm just
showing you a few examples.

Another way to do it is
through Google Scholar,

anytime I'm somewhere and
I can't find an export

in a specific database or journal,

I copy the title into Google Scholar,

and in Google Scholar you can set up.

If I do search results,

I can set up for an EndNote
bibliography manager here,

and when I save that,

now I get import into EndNote here.

I can click that.

This still wants to do Zotero,

but that's fine, I can go to Zotero.

I'm saying, "Okay, I want
that to be in my folder."

Now, EndNote looks like this
and they all look the same.

I'll show you all three of them.

When you put the metadata in here,

this is the free version EndNote basic,

it's done through your web browser.

It does not save your PDFs.

You do have to link sometimes to go
back to the record or go to the URL.

But then when you want to format,

you say, "Format bibliography."

I'm going to say I want this
Boundary Crossing folder and I

want it in APA 7th and there's
other formats you can select.

I want it in rich text,

which is like a Word doc and
I'm going to preview it.

This is how fast it is
to format 124 citations.

But again, disclaimer, this is not correct.

These capital titles are not correct
so you'll have to do some editing.

But then I can say select all,

copy, and paste it into my Word doc.

There's also a site as you write
that works directly in Word.

Zotero is really awesome because it
saves the PDF along with your metadata.

Here's the abstract, the article,

all the information about that article,

and then one thing that you can do,

is you can download articles
and drag them into here,

and it will automatically
create this data if it can.

For example, if I pull
this article into here,

let me get back to here and
I pulled this into here.

It will automatically
create that information.

I just did the same one twice,

so I have it in there
twice. I can delete it.

But you'll see that it added the abstract,

the information about the authors,

all of that. It's in here now.

The third product is called Mendeley
and I'm not going to open it.

I can't remember my password right now
and I thought I was already logged in.

But I guess I'm not.

I won't show you that one, but that one
intersects with the science databases,

Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed really well.

On the strategy number four page,

you'll see that there are links
to tutorials information,

the library guides will connect you with

the librarian that is the
expert on each of these tools.

Rebecca is on Zotero,

Shane is on Mendeley,

and Lorelai is on EndNote.

Another tool you might want to check
out is Ubox and Ubox is like Dropbox,

but you actually have a terabyte
of cloud storage space.

You log in with your unit and password,

so no need to have another password and

login and it is FERPA and HIPAA compliance.

This is what it looks like.

You just set up folders.

You put your PDFs in there.

You can set subfolders.

You can add bookmarks,

you can do little note-taking and

it really helps you stay organized
when you're downloading PDFs.

If you're not using Zotero,

you can use this to store your PDFs.

Another tool, the university
has its own Google Drive site,

it's called gcloud, gcloud.utah.edu.

You log in with your unit and password
and it sets up a Google e-mail

with youneed@youmail.google,
I think.gmail.com.

It will set up, it'll
automatically do that for you.

You can collaborate with people on

campus without having to
worry about what everybody's

Gmail address is because you just

look them up by their
name and it finds them.

This is another great
tool that I use called

Trello and these four
things are called lists.

I use this for my tasks
and to get organized.

So you see this is from my
logistics for my RPT process.

In 2011 to 2016,

I did my tenure review, got tenure, yay.

These were all the tasks that I had,

that I needed to complete
before I got to tenure.

Now I'm on my five-year review,

2017 to 2021 and I have to do,

a doing, and a done column.

Then I move my tasks from

one column to the other and
what I like about this is I

get to see all this stuff
accrue in my done column.

For example, this one I
finished so I'm just going

to drag that down here to the
bottom of my list of done.

Done, it's in my done list,

one less thing to do.

It's a great tool if you're into
that type of project management.

Concept mapping is a great tool.

I use Cmap that lets me
visually look at my topic.

Boundary crossing is in
the middle and then I have

my subtopics, organizational spanning,

interdisciplinary, third
space, transitions,

identity, and social formation.

As I find topics when
I'm doing my research,

I added them to my map,

and then I added sub-topics to my map.

This is a great way to
visualize what you're doing.

I'm doing one right now for a
website that I'm working on.

I can click here and say,

"I want to do R programming."

If I could just spell it right,

and then I could say,

"I want to connect this one to this one."

These are programming tools.

Then I could put R and I could put
Python and I could create my map.

You can export it out as a PNG
file and keep a record of it.

It's a really cool tool.

This is the strategy
number four and these are

all about building up and developing
your toolbox to do research.

These are all the links to the
citation management tools,

which is the most popular
tool that most people

use to help them be more
efficient in research.

There's Ubox links and link
to the drive and Office 365,

the U also has their own version of that.

Then if you're doing qualitative research,

there are three links here to Artificial
Intelligence trends transcript.

A way to do your transcripts cheaper
through artificial intelligence.

So instead of sending
it all for two dollars

a minute to have your interviews
or focus groups transcribed,

these are a lot cheaper,

like $0.25 a minute to have a computer
do that transcription for you.

Those are just some of the tools that might

help you be a more efficient researcher.

Oh, last one, Evernote.

I use Evernote and Evernote
is a research journal for me.

These are all keywords and
phrases that I copy and

paste in here as I'm going
through and doing my research.

That was the last one I forgot.

Onto strategy five.
