    A Comparison of Researcher's Reference Management Software

    Journal of Economics and Behavioral Studies Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 561-568, July 2014 (ISSN: 2220-6140) A Comparison of Researcher’s Reference Management Software: Refworks, Mendeley, and EndNote Sujit Kumar Basak Durban University of Technology, South Africa [email protected] Abstract: This paper aimed to present a comparison of researcher’s reference management software such as RefWorks, Mendeley, and EndNote. This aim was achieved by comparing three software. The main results of this paper were concluded by comparing three software based on the experiment. The novelty of this paper is the comparison of researcher’s reference management software and it has showed that Mendeley reference management software can import more data from the Google Scholar for researchers. This finding could help to know researchers to use the reference management software. Keywords: Reference management software, comparison and researchers 1. Introduction Reference management software maintains a database to references and creates bibliographies and the reference lists for the written works. It makes easy to read and to record the elements for the reference comprises such as the author’s name, year of publication, and the title of an article, etc. (Reiss & Reiss, 2002). Reference Management Software is usually used by researchers, technologists, scientists, and authors, etc. to keep their records and utilize the bibliographic citations; hence it is one of the most complicated aspects among researchers. Formatting references as a matter of fact depends on a variety of citation styles which have been made the citation manager very essential for researchers at all levels (Gilmour & Cobus-Kuo, 2011). Reference management software is popularly known as bibliographic software, citation management software or personal bibliographic file managers (Nashelsky & Earley, 1991).

  • Altmetric.Com and Plumx

    Altmetric.Com and Plumx

    This is a preprint of an article published in Scientometrics. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-021-03941-y A large-scale comparison of coverage and mentions captured by the two altmetric aggregators- Altmetric.com and PlumX Mousumi Karmakara, Sumit Kumar Banshalb, Vivek Kumar Singha,1 1Department of Computer Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India 2Department of Computer Science, South Asian University, New Delhi-110021, India. Abstract: The increased social media attention to scholarly articles has resulted in creation of platforms & services to track the social media transactions around them. Altmetric.com and PlumX are two such popular altmetric aggregators. Scholarly articles get mentions in different social platforms (such as Twitter, Blog, Facebook) and academic social networks (such as Mendeley, Academia and ResearchGate). The aggregators track activity and events in social media and academic social networks and provide the coverage and transaction data to researchers for various purposes. Some previous studies have compared different altmetric aggregators and found differences in the coverage and mentions captured by them. This paper attempts to revisit the question by doing a large-scale analysis of altmetric mentions captured by the two aggregators, for a set 1,785,149 publication records from Web of Science. Results obtained show that PlumX tracks more altmetric sources and captures altmetric events for a larger number of articles as compared to Altmetric.com. However, the coverage and average mentions of the two aggregators, for the same set of articles, vary across different platforms, with Altmetric.com recording higher mentions in Twitter and Blog, and PlumX recording higher mentions in Facebook and Mendeley.

ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0766-2763 Email: [email protected] ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACT Graduate students at the University of Manitoba were surveyed to find out if they used reference management software (RMS), features used, challenges and barriers to using RMS. Interest in different types of PDF management features and training options were also investigated. Both users and non-users of reference management software were invited to participate. Non-users managed their citations and references with a variety of other tools. The principal reasons for non-use were that students were not aware of options that were available, and the amount of time needed to learn the program. RMS users also mentioned the steep learning curve, problems with extracting metadata from PDFs, technical issues, and problems with inaccurate citation styles. Most of the students saved PDF documents to their computer. Students were most interested in full-text searching of PDFs, automatic renaming of PDFs, and automatically extracting citation metadata from a PDF.

  • Coverage of Academic Citation Databases Compared with Coverage

    Coverage of Academic Citation Databases Compared with Coverage

    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/1468-4527.htm Coverage of Coverage of academic citation academic databases compared with citation coverage of scientific social media databases Personal publication lists as 255 calibration parameters Received 24 July 2014 Fourth revision approved Fee Hilbert, Julia Barth, Julia Gremm, Daniel Gros, Jessica Haiter, 5 January 2015 Maria Henkel, Wilhelm Reinhardt and Wolfgang G. Stock Department of Information Science, Heinrich Heine University, Dusseldorf, Germany Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how the coverage of publications is represented in information services. Academic citation databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar) and scientific social media (Mendeley, CiteULike, BibSonomy) were analyzed by applying a new method: the use of personal publication lists of scientists. Design/methodology/approach – Personal publication lists of scientists of the field of information science were analyzed. All data were taken in collaboration with the scientists in order to guarantee complete publication lists. Findings – The demonstrated calibration parameter shows the coverage of information services in the field of information science. None of the investigated databases reached a coverage of 100 percent. However Google Scholar covers a greater amount of publications than other academic citation databases and scientific social media. Research limitations/implications – Results were limited to the publications of scientists working at an information science department from 2003 to 2012 at German-speaking universities. Practical implications – Scientists of the field of information science are encouraged to review their publication strategy in case of quality and quantity. Originality/value – The paper confirms the usefulness of personal publication lists as a calibration parameter for measuring coverage of information services.
