You need to nd related literature, take notes, draft the thesis, and eventually write the nal document and create the bibliography. Many books explain how to perform a literature survey and how to write scholarly literature in general and a thesis in particular (e.g. [1-9]). However, these books barely, if at all, cover software tools that help in performing these tasks. This is surprising, because great software tools that can facilitate the daily work of students and researchers are available and many of them for free. In this tutorial, we present a new method to reviewing scholarly literature and drafting a thesis using mind mapping software, PDF readers, and reference managers. This tutorial focuses on writing a PhD thesis. However, the presented methods are likewise applicable to planning and writing a bachelor thesis or master thesis. This tutorial is special, because it integrates the management of PDF les, the relevant content in PDFs (bookmarks), and references with mind mapping and word processing software. -
Studies and Analysis of Reference Management Software: a Literature Review
Studies and analysis of reference management software: a literature review Jesús Tramullas Ana Sánchez-Casabón {jesus,asanchez}@unizar.es Dept .of Library & Information Science, University of Zaragoza Piedad Garrido-Picazo [email protected] Dept. of Computer and Software Engineering, University of Zaragoza Abstract: Reference management software is a well-known tool for scientific research work. Since the 1980s, it has been the subject of reviews and evaluations in library and information science literature. This paper presents a systematic review of published studies that evaluate reference management software with a comparative approach. The objective is to identify the types, models, and evaluation criteria that authors have adopted, in order to determine whether the methods used provide adequate methodological rigor and useful contributions to the field of study. Keywords: reference management software, evaluation methods, bibliography. 1. Introduction and background Reference management software has been a useful tool for researchers since the 1980s. In those early years, tools were made ad-hoc, and some were based on the dBase II/III database management system (Bertrand and Bader, 1980; Kunin, 1985). In a short period of time a market was created and commercial products were developed to provide support to this type of information resources. The need of researchers to systematize scientific literature in both group and personal contexts, and to integrate mechanisms into scientific production environments in order to facilitate and expedite the process of writing and publishing research results, requires that these types of applications receive almost constant attention in specialized library and information science literature. The result of this interest is reflected, in bibliographical terms, in the publication of numerous articles almost exclusively devoted to describing, analyzing, and comparing the characteristics of several reference management software products (Norman, 2010). -
Tool Support for the Search Process of Systematic Literature Reviews
Institute of Architecture of Application Systems University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Bachelorarbeit Tool Support for the Search Process of Systematic Literature Reviews Dominik Voigt Course of Study: Informatik Examiner: Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Frank Leymann Supervisor: Karoline Wild, M.Sc. Commenced: May 4, 2020 Completed: November 4, 2020 Abstract Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is a popular research method with adoption across different research domains that is used to draw generalizations, compose multiple existing concepts into a new one, or identify conflicts and gaps in existing research. Within the Information Technology domain, researchers face multiple challenges during the search step of an SLR which are caused by the use of different query languages by digital libraries. This thesis proposes tool support that provides cross-library search by using a common query language across digital libraries. For this the existing digital library APIs and query languages have been analyzed and a new cross-library query language and transformation was developed that allows the formulation of cross-library queries that can be transformed into existing query languages. These concepts have been integrated within an existing reference management tool to provide integrated and automated cross-library search and result management to address the challenges faced by Information Technology researchers during the search step. 3 Contents 1 Introduction 13 2 Background and Fundamentals 15 2.1 Systematic Literature Review Process ....................... 15 2.2 Metadata Formats for Literature Reference Management ............. 20 2.3 Queries on Digital Libraries ............................ 21 2.4 Challenges during the Search Process ....................... 24 3 Related Work 29 3.1 Existing Approaches ............................... -

I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Ahraz Husain, Student Date Approvals: Bonita Sharif, Thesis Advisor Date Yong Zhang, Committee Member Date Feng Yu, Committee Member Date Sal Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Abstract Developers spend a majority of their efforts searching and navigating code with the retention and management of context being a considerable challenge to their productivity. We aim to explore the contextual patterns followed by software developers while working on change tasks such as bug fixes. So far, only a few studies have been undertaken towards their investigation and the development of methods to make software development more efficient. Recently, eye tracking has been used extensively to observe system usability and advertisement placements in applications and on the web, but not much research has been done on context management using this technology in software engineering and how developers work. In this thesis, we analyze an existing dataset of eye tracking and interaction history that were collected simultaneously in a previous study. -

Bibsonomy: a Social Bookmark and Publication Sharing System
BibSonomy: A Social Bookmark and Publication Sharing System Andreas Hotho,1 Robert Jaschke,¨ 1,2 Christoph Schmitz,1 Gerd Stumme1,2 1 Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Kassel, Wilhelmshoher¨ Allee 73, D–34121 Kassel, Germany http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de 2 Research Center L3S, Expo Plaza 1, D–30539 Hannover, Germany http://www.l3s.de Abstract. Social bookmark tools are rapidly emerging on the Web. In such sys- tems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. The reason for their immediate success is the fact that no specific skills are needed for participating. In this paper we specify a formal model for folksonomies and briefly describe our own system BibSonomy, which allows for sharing both book- marks and publication references in a kind of personal library. 1 Introduction Complementing the Semantic Web effort, a new breed of so-called “Web 2.0” appli- cations is currently emerging on the Web. These include user-centric publishing and knowledge management platforms like Wikis, Blogs, and social resource sharing tools. These tools, such as Flickr3 or del.icio.us,4 have acquired large numbers of users within less than two years.5 The reason for their immediate success is the fact that no specific skills are needed for participating, and that these tools yield immediate benefit for each individual user (e.g. organizing ones bookmarks in a browser-independent, persistent fashion) without too much overhead. Large numbers of users have created huge amounts of information within a very short period of time. -

With these tools, scholars keep track of the scientific literature they read, and to facilitate the editing of the scientific papers they write. This study presents the results of a quantitative survey performed at a research university in Malaysia. The aims of the survey were to observe how much these softwares are used by the scientific community, to see which softwares are most known and used, and to find out the reasons and the approaches behind their usage. Manually questionnaire was distributed to the Master and PhD students at all faculties in Jun 2014. The data collected were analysed through a constant comparative analysis, and the following categories were drawn: a basic practical approach to the instrument, the heavy impact of the time factor, the force of habit in scholars, economic issues, the importance of training and literacy, and the role that the library can have in this stage. -

Basically, anyone who is doing research by reading a lot of content on a particular project or has to keep track of a number of citations and sources and needs to keep all the information and sources in one place. The study discusses about the basics of Reference Management Tools followed by definitions, core functions of RMT’s, comparison with other reference management tools like Endnote, Mendeley and Zotero, and finally we discussed about the use of Endnote in the R & D libraries. Keywords: Reference Management Tools, Functions, Popular Tools, Comparison, Mendeley, Zotero, R & D Libraries. 1. Background In today’s scientific research and production managing references has always been a difficult task in reporting research results and producing academic writings. Various software programs have been adopted by, and specifically developed for, authors of systematic reviews.
