- You may want to separate some of these as individual folders. For example, a Patents folder may be relevant in one field of research but not in another. Posters could also be a separate folder.
Steps 2 & 2.1: Find Your Publications
Identify databases containing your publications and that have citation-indexing functionality
Examples include:
Step 2.1: Find your publications within a selected database
To locate your publications, you can search one article at a time OR you can capture all your publications in one search.
Examples include:
- Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar
- IEEE Xplore, SPIE, SciFinder, AnthroSource
- ProQuest: Social Services Abstracts, etc (more ProQuest databases)
Step 2.1: Find your publications within a selected database
To locate your publications, you can search one article at a time OR you can capture all your publications in one search.
- For example, you can look for an author search/author finder option
in the database. Enter your name as the database instructs (e.g.
MacDonald M*). Use refinement options to narrow search, complete search
and review results.
- Search for your last name and each article title, OR your name and a specific topic(s). For example: MacDonald M* AND midwifery
- Find your profile or register yourself in the researcher index associated with the database (more information)
- If you are not finding a particular article, or publications such as book chapters, try using Web of Science's Cited Reference Search tab OR Scopus' Secondary Documents link.
Steps 2.2 & 2.3: Add Your Publications to RefWorks
Step 2.2: Export your publications' bibliographic information to RefWorks
Scopus
2. Select Save to Refworks and follow the prompts to access your RefWorks account.Google Scholar
NOTE
You can use Zotero for importing multiple records from Google Scholar to RefWorks.
Always review the results to determine if you want to include all
that Google Scholar has captured! As Google Scholar includes information
such as posters, trade magazines, non peer-reviewed journals,
association sponsored research papers, government docs, fact files, and
company reports that cite your work, you need to determine if this
information is relevant.
