Welcome to this short screencast showing how to do cited reference searching within the Scopes database. This is useful if you have a good article and you want to find out who cited it so for example. I'm going to search for the article called closing the marketing capabilities gap. And it's by day so I'm going to add a second search field by clicking here and then I'm just going to put the author's surname in day so I'm going to make sure that I've got article title selected here and author selected here and then click on search so the database has found the journal. I'm looking for it's written by day and you can see here it's from the Journal of marketing this is the information I'm interested over here. 69 cited by 69 different authors. So we click on that and here. I have a list of every article that has cited the one that I'm interested in so this is a useful way of finding relevant related research within the database itself. You can click on the title to get to more information about that particular article if I just go back to my list. At this point to get to the full text of any of these we click on the links button to link through to it if you wish to analyze the results in a little more detail might be useful to select this option here analyze search results if I click on that it will open up a graph giving me information about the citation so I'll just scroll the screen down a little bit more so you can see that. For example if we click on author we've got a list of the authors that have cited my article by day we can also see the source of the citing article that's which journal it's from and even which country or territory is represented so mostly the United States by the look of it here and also which subject area as well which might be interesting so largely business management and accounting taking the largest proportion of that pie chart okay that ends this very short tutorial explaining how to do a cited reference search. Thanks for watching. Welcome to this second tutorial.

I'm going to look at doing author searching within Scopus so the first thing I'm going to do is select author search from the options as shown on the screen and then I'm going to search for the author GS de that we look for in the first tutorial so I'm using the initials G and s but leaving a gap between the two and then clicking on search so I've got 20 results altogether and 5 as shown here in order to work out whether you've found the correct author from the list. It's a good idea to look through the options so in the center of the screen here you have the subject that the author writes within as well as the institution to which they are affiliated so in fact the one. I'm interested in is listed first it's George Day of the University of Pennsylvania and I can tell that because it's in the business and management field if I then click through to his surname. I then get through to this useful author summary page so on this page we can see the number of documents that George Day has in the Scopes database the total number of citations. We can see the number of co-authors that he's had and on the right-hand side of a scroll down you can see we've got author history so his publication range and also the total number of references that he's used in his articles. If we scroll a little further down the page here are all 34 documents and here we can click through to the titles of any of these for the abstract and then link through to the full text where it is available. There's also something on the page here. Called the h-index this is a way of quantifying an author's research output and this is explained in more detail in the worksheet on our. Moodle course page okay. In order to do another search at this point you can go back to the search we can go back to the results first of all in order to look at anyone else on this page or go back to search and to start another author search from this point or to do a document search. That's the end of this short tutorial.

Thank you for watching.
