PBRF relief! - New and Improved Author Searching and Citation Reports on Web of Science

Major New Features Available

Improved Author Searching: Author Finder

Web of Science now has improved the options available for searching authors - especially those with common names. Clicking the Author Finder link gives you the option of allowing for:

• variant name entries
• multiple names (for example, a person's maiden name and married name)
• subject area of the author
  
• institutional affiliation(s)

In addition to this, instead of only using first name initials, Web of Science will from now on be indexing names as they appear in publications in a bid to simplify the identification of authors.


Citation Reports for Search Results

Now you can create your citation portfolio for PBRF with ease! This new feature is ideal for creating a report of an individual author's papers and their citations. (However, you can also create a citation report for any search set result.) It produces graphs of papers published and cited each year, as well as citation counts and average citation rates for individual papers. You can also remove self-citations at a click.

The Citation Report option is available in the box of options on the right of any search results list.

A dynamic illustration of how to do a citation report for an individual is available online at:

Also New: Further Online Training for Web of Science

A range of other animated tutorials for Web of Science are now available:

Massey Moving to EndNote X for 2007

Over the summer semester the ITS labs and the Library Information Commons will be upgraded to EndNote version X. This is to be the new supported version from 2007.

Now would be an opportune time to check which version you are running on your office (or home) PC or Mac and think about upgrading.

It is our recommendation that unless you need to remain on version 7 because of compatibility, that you upgrade to version X. See the Library EndNote FAQs for more information on compatibility.

Please Note:
While EndNote versions 8, 9 and X will open libraries created in EndNote 7, the reverse is not true. EndNote 7 cannot open libraries created in, or saved by, later versions. If you are using EndNote in conjunction with Microsoft Word on more than one computer (e.g. at home and on-campus), you should ensure that both machines have the same version installed.

The Complete Works of Charles Darwin online

From the press release:

"The largest collection of Darwin's writings ever published will appear on the website The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online (http://darwin-online.org.uk/) on 19 October 2006. Never before has so much Darwin material, and so many rare and widely dispersed items, been brought together in one place and made available free of charge. This site currently offers more than 50,000 pages of searchable text and 40,000 images of both publications and transcribed manuscripts. Most of the materials are available both as fully formatted electronic text and colour images of the originals. Darwin's works are also available as free machine-read audio mp3 files.

Most of the materials provided are appearing online for the first time such as the first edition of the Journal of Researches (1839) (or Voyage of the Beagle), The descent of Man (1871), The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle (1838-43) and the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th editions of the Origin of species. There are also many newly transcribed and never before published manuscripts such as Darwin's Beagle field notebooks. One of these, the notebook in which Darwin recorded his immediate thoughts on the Galapagos, was stolen in the early 1980s and is still missing, but the text has been transcribed from microfilm. "
