>> 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.
