1. HOW TO FIND, READ, WRITE ABOUT AND REFERENCE RESEARCH PAPERS?

2. Find papers  Where to look?  Conferences  Journals  Online: people, labs  References in papers read  Conference organizers, journal editors E.g. Pervasive committeesPervasive committees  Conference website links, e.g.: Links to previous conferences: UbicompUbicomp Proceedings online: Automotive UIAutomotive UI  Your advisor’s and collaborators’ suggestions

3. Find papers  IEEE Xplore IEEE Xplore  ACM Digital Library ACM Digital Library  Others on UNH Library website (print & electronic)  People’s websites (my list)list

4. Find papers  Where not to look (with few exceptions)?  Sales brochures  Company white papers  Online tutorials  News  Blogs

5. Find papers  So, what are some of those exceptions?  Company white paper: You trust the company White paper free of advertisement  News story, blog post: initial lead, not final reference: My post on ETRA 2010 paperpost Albrecht Schmidt post on energy harvestingpost Videos that make you think:

8. Read  Take notes:  On paper (print out paper?)  In electronic form (e.g. Word document) – eventually you’ll need this!  Reference Manager?

9. Read: how many?  Signs that you have a good overview:  See references to papers you’ve read  You expect, and find, a reference in a sentence/section  Recurring references over multiple papers  References cover decades  References up to date (including very recent conference papers)

10. Write about  What matters?  What has been done?  Similarities  Dissimilarities

11. Write about  What has been done?  “I’m not working on something that’s already been done.”  “I am building on other’s work.”

12. Write about  Similarities, e.g.:  “At least parts of my work fit into what we all accept as be correct.”  Approach  Results

13. Write about  Dissimilarities, e.g.:  “I have a contribution to make.”  Results  Explanations

14. Reference  What matters?  Author(s): Helps identify relationships between papers Helps evaluate quality (e.g. use h-score)  Title: Topic relevance  Publication: Helps evaluate quality (e.g. use h-score, impact factor)  Year Relevance Coverage

15. Reference  Format:  Strictly prescribed by publication  Often downloadable from database (e.g. IEEE)  Reference Manager, MS Word 2007
