#usm #usmlibrarytv How to search for literature in Scopus


And now let me show you how to use. Scopus a biography indexing databases in order to find high quality articles worldwide. So first of all as usual you may go directly to. Scopus or you can go through like a website. Three-point uh blue dot and IV. Go to resources that you go to and you can simply type and they're going to provide you with this one so you can directly click it then they're going to bring you direct to. Scopus so as I told you earlier. Scopus is an indicator base where you can find majority of the peer-reviewed article from high-quality general worldwide. Now am i letting the good the advantage of unions coppices they can provide you with more detail information including highly cited papers and so on as I am going to show you later so first of all once you go into Stoppers let us give a title search for material here so you can type any keyword and the man at this. If you your keyword is more than one word you may put them in code like this one so for example. I tried to search for B beta so I want to ask the system to search for me. SFA's s big data. So you can put them as this one they can t search but if your killer is only comprised of one word so it is okay just proceed as usual so now let us click search. Let us see how many result that will be again so from here as I type just now. Big data so diminish to provide me with more than 70,000 seven more than 75,000 result and by default. They're going to arrange the result. According to this one so on death new one so many day on top here is the latest article index by its copies followed by the rest of it and as usual before you start exploring each and every article relevant to your research. Of course you need to do refining function as you can see from the left hand side here so you better refine first until you get the most relevant result yourself only then you can start downloading them so let us give a try for example from here once you get the rings. Ah maybe you want to refine by ear so it again depend on your specialization.

So if you usually if it is related to technology of call you need shutter kind of period as compared to those who are doing research related to history and so on so you may need a longer period of time so you may choose from the list here you can also refine by author name if you kind of looking for very specific expert in your field so you can choose them from here. It was just leave it you can also choose your subject area because sometime your keyword might be across material specialization. So you may choose from here as well if you cannot find your side the area from the this here you can simply click view more in order to see more option for you so you can choose them if I can choose more than one and you can move forward by refining according to document I you can also refine by publication stage sauce title where it is publish or the journal title keyword affiliation funding and so on so you may refine them until you get the most relevant one next another thing that you can do with coppers is instead of viewing them according to date news or the recent article it is also good for you to click any matches from delicious so many other option but I want to focus onto this one you can go to this one cited by highest so you can click this one so what going to happen is they're going to arrange the same result but this time they orig according to the highest citation resist so why do I bring you to this information because usually when we want to get material for our research or for our thesis for example in order to produce our literature review or chapter 2 of community to refer to the best article and in academic world in order to find the best article of course it is related to the citation receive so the higher the citation receives in is an indication of the quality of the paper because more people referred to the article so you can find that information in scopus so after you refine your search accordingly then you can choose this one shot on by site that buyers you're going to get the best paper according to your keyword so next you can start looking for the full tank of the article download them read them analyze them and put them into your own literature review so it is like a domino process as well if you are referring to a good paper so hopefully I'm going to produce a good one as well so in order to download for example right now you already know that it is among the best paper in my field so maybe I want to download the first 20 or first 50 article in the list to download what you need to do in this then you can give a try with this one click view at publisher for them.

I need this one this article I click view a publisher. They're going to bring me direct to publishers website and the probability that you're going to get the PDF is depending on library subscription again so if library do subscribe or it is a kind of open. SS article tango because you're going to get the PDF otherwise you're going to get only yesterday for this one. I managed to get a PDF so you just download from you let me see alright so I managed to get so you can download or you can't even print it. Oh how about the article that you cannot get the full-text for example. Let me give a try with this one okay this one also. I managed to get the full take because it hood. Yeah so like we subscribe to this article. If you cannot find the full text for example you go to any article sudden you find out that you cannot get the full tech. I give you another alternative where you can you need to request through interlibrary loan so you can go to. Liberia site 3 / w de la vida es and of my go to services and click on interlibrary loan services. Then fill in this form in television loan form for. Ithaca ok verify yourself using your USM email address then the rest you need to fill in the form by providing your personal information email and so on then you need to fill in the information about the attitude that you are looking for so you just copy and paste from scope person like title or to name your volume issue and so on so after you finish submit then I will start going to search it in to open access or free platform if you cannot find it then we go to the next step where we're going to ask from our colleagues librarian from public universities library if they provide us with the PDF then they go.

We're going to send it directly through your email. So that's the alternative that you can use in order to get the material so this is how you can use the Scopus in order to find high-quality papers for your own research you.
