Finally, examine qualitative measures of the value and impact of a research program and its findings, and consider ways to plan for dissemination and uptake of results. EndNote: Managing Your Search Results Use EndNote© to import and organize references, insert references in manuscripts, and create bibliographies. PubMed: Understanding the Basics Use PubMed to find articles on your research topic in biomedical and scientific journals. PubMed is the National Library of Medicine's premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine and preclinical sciences, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine and the health care system. It includes journal article citations and abstracts from MEDLINE and other sources. Many of the citations lead to full-text articles available online through NIH Library subscription agreements. Scopus & Web of Science: Rich with Citations Learn how to use both Scopus and Web of Science to search for articles and augment your retrieval. Both databases can track citation counts and analyze research in a variety of ways. Web Search: Thinking Beyond Google Go beyond the standard web search tools and learn to search more efficiently; access the invisible web; evaluate websites; use image and non-text search engines; search for scholarly information, news, people, and blogs; and customize your search results.
