13 Plagiarism What is Plagiarism? A piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and presented as being your own work. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th Ed.) The act of taking someone’s words or ideas as if they were your own. Avoiding Plagiarism CIT Preventing Plagiarism site http://www.cit.nus.edu.sg/plagiarism-prevention/ http://www.cit.nus.edu.sg/plagiarism-prevention/ Proper citation of information sources turnitin software Plagiarism Spectrum http://turnitin.com/assets/en_us/media/plagiarism_spectrum.php http://turnitin.com/assets/en_us/media/plagiarism_spectrum.php 13

14 Citations & Bibliography Two places to cite the references you have used: within a sentence (in-text citation) at the end of the document (bibliography/references) 14 Bibliography/Reference 4. Ding JL, Navas III MA, Ho B. Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of factor C cDNA from the Singapore horseshoe crab, Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda. Mol Mar Biol Biotechnol 1995; 4: 90 Bibliography/Reference 4. Ding JL, Navas III MA, Ho B.

15 Outline NUS Libraries and Services for Honours Students Overview of online databases for Life Sciences BIOSIS Previews Web of Science Plagiarism, Citations and Publishing Introduction to bibliographic software & EndNote Guides and Tips 15

16 Introduction to Bibliographic Software & EndNote A software that: stores and organises references from many sources inserts these references into a Word document, and automatically formats your references according to a predefined citation style 16 Comparison of Reference Management Software

17 EndNote Online Guide http://libguides.nus.edu.sg/endnote

18 EndNote Workflow 18 1. Create an EndNote Library2. Add references to the EndNote Library3. Manage references: using groups & finding duplicates4. Insert references in MS Word (Cite While You Write)5. Change citation style and edit preferences

19 Step 1: Create an EndNote Library a.All programs > EndNote > EndNote Program b.File > New c.Filename: Test (*.enl) d.Save 19 Hands-on

20 Step 2: Add References to the Library 20 Direct Export Direct Export Import Text File Manual Inputting EndNote Library Cite While You Write MS Word Import PDF Online Search

21 Method 1: Direct Export Export references directly from database a.At the database, select the records you want b.Save, output, export or send to EndNote (Look for “RIS format”) c.Click Open to transfer records to your EndNote library 21

22 Method 4: Import PDF Files Extracts references from PDF files PDF must contain a Digital Object Identifer (DOI) and is not a scanned document. a.In EndNote, go to File > Import b.Choose either file or folder, and change Import Option > PDF Note: If the author, title, journal, etc, fields are not auto-populated, the PDF could be of the wrong format or have an incorrect DOI New in X7 - PDF auto-import folder Whats new in EndNote X7 (Video) Whats new in EndNote X7 (Video) 22

23 Step 3: Duplicate References To set criteria: Edit > Preferences > Duplicates To find duplicates: References > Find Duplicates 23

24 Managing References: Custom vs. Smart Groups Custom Groups Create folders to group (categorise) references Smart Groups Automatically group references based on your search criteria, e.g.: author/year/title contains/is/word begins with… Note: Any references added to EndNote will be automatically filed in the group, with immediate effect 24

25 Step 4: Cite While You Write (CWYW) 25 Use MS Word to insert citations into your paper Create a paper with properly formatted references, bibliography, figures & tables Tip: Do NOT edit the citations and bibliographies in Word. Edit the reference in the EndNote Library only Tip: To locate citation and bibliography fields, change the MS Word’s Field Shading option

26 EndNote Tab & Field Shading If EndNote is properly installed, you will see the EndNote tab in Word After you add references, Field shading shows up as text highlighted in grey. 26

27 Inserting Citations 27 Method 1: Find Citation a.EndNote X7 tab: Insert citation > Find Citation b.Search for a word in any field (e.g. title, author) c.Select the references that you want to insert into your paper Method 2: Insert Selected Citation(s) a.In EndNote library, select a citation b.Go to Word and place cursor at insertion point c.Click on Insert Citation > Insert Selected Citation(s)

28 Editing Citations & References Edit & Manage Citation(s) E.g. add page numbers, exclude author, exclude year Edit Library Reference(s) Place cursor in the citation, click on Edit library references and make the necessary changes. Next, click on Update citations and bibliography 28

29 Step 5: Change Style & Create a Bib Section To change the citation style EndNote X7 tab: Click on Style > Select Another Style… To create bibliography section* a.Bottom right corner of Bibliography group > Layout > Bibliography title b.Type References (or Bibliography) *The bibliography section appears only when you insert a citation *New in X7 - Create sections within Bibliography 29

30 Backing Up Library (1) Method 1: Save a Copy Creates an exact copy of the library  xxx Copy.Data and xxx Copy.enl File > Save a Copy… 30

31 Backing Up Library (2) Method 2: Compress Library Saves the.enl file and.Data folder into one compressed file File > Compressed Library (.enlx) To restore: File > Open > Open Library … 31
