Information Source Examples 1. Tertiary- course reading lists, indexing services, commercial databases, suggestions from your advisor 2. Secondary- Text books, review articles, encyclopedias, bibliographies Primary - articles in journals, conference papers, books, book chapters, dissertations.

Primary Sources: 

Primary Sources Whatever new work in Phytochemistry or in pharmacology, or in quality assurance subjects.(except for that disclosed in patents) has been published in journals. There are thousands of journals that publish Research papers in many countries & in many languages. Some journals covering print papers of all fields of science, some are restricted to chemistry, some to Pharmacognosy, clinical pharmacy's & some are more specialized. They publishes the original result of the laboratory investigations

Slide 5: 

The result of most research work are reported in the primary chemical literature also as thesis, reports of various national and international agencies, proceeding of scientific meetings and patents. There are three types kinds of journal paper…, a full paper, a note ( short paper) and a communication. A journal is a publication issue periodically that reports original research. Manuscripts submitted by researchers are scrutinized by an editor and a referee before they are accepted for publication. This is known as the peer review process. The articles are very detailed and include detailed experimental procedures.

Slide 6: 

A communication: They consist mainly of results and discussion section and have very short introduction & minimum experimental data. A full paper: presents new important data. It usually consists of informative, concise, abstract, which summarizes the principle finding of work, a detailed experimental materials and non-standard apparatus used and a full description of how the work was done, summaries of result. A Note (A short paper): Don’t have abstract or emphasis on the experimental section - Are shorter than full paper. - Introduction, result and discussion shorter.

Some useful definition: 

Some useful definition JOURNAL - a periodical publication in which researchers report the results of their work to their peer community; compare with magazine. Articles are reviewed by an editorial board of scholars in the field prior to acceptance for publication , and generally include an abstract and numerous citations to previous work. Scientific journals are usually considered the most important primary sources of information. A scholarly scientific journal contains a collection of articles, usually published on a regular schedule, written by scholars reporting the results of experimental investigations. ARTICLE - an essay or research report on a subject. Articles appear in magazines, journals, newspapers and other sources such as encyclopedias. BOOLEAN LOGIC - words (AND, OR, NOT) used in searching online resources (such as the periodical indexes) that determine the relationship between two or more search terms.

Slide 8: 

CITATION - information about a book or article that is used to identify or locate that book or article. A citation usually includes the author, article title, book or journal title, date, volume number, and/or publication information. PEER REVIEW - a process that articles in many journals go through before they are published. Once an article is submitted for publication, it is sent to an editorial board comprised of experts in the field to be evaluated. The submitted article must receive the approval of the editorial board before it is published. The editorial board is usually identified at the beginning of each issue of a journal REVIEW ARTICLES do not cover original research but rather accumulate the results of many different articles on a particular topic into a coherent narrative about the state of the art in that field.

ScienceDirect (Elsevier) ScienceDirect is one of the largest online collections of published scientific research in the world. Produced by Elsevier it contains over 8.5 million articles from over 2000 journals. In 2007, 4,000 e-books will be added to sciencedirect .

The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Its publications division produces several scholarly journals including the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The primary source of income of the ACS is the Chemical Abstracts Service and its publications. American Chemical Society ( www.pubs.ac.org )

Blackwell Science ( www.blackwellpublishimg.com ) Blackwell Publishing was formed in 2001 from two Oxford-based academic publishing companies, Blackwell Science and Blackwell Publishers. Blackwell published over 805 journals and 650 text and reference books in 2006, across a wide range of academic, medical, and professional subjects. FEBS Journal Photochemistry and Photobiology International Journal of Cosmetic Science

Slide 19: 

Nature (journal) Nature is a prominent scientific journal, first published on 4 November 1869. Nature is one of the few journals, along with other weekly journals such as Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , which still publishes original research articles across a wide range of scientific fields. In many fields of scientific research, important new advances and original research are published as articles or letters in Nature. Nature research journals : Nature Biotechnology Nature Cell Biology Nature Chemical Biology Nature Genetics Nature Immunology Nature Materials Nature Medicine Nature Reviews Drug Discovery ( www.nature.com )

Slide 27: 

Journal Impact Factor The Impact factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now part of Thomson , a large worldwide US-based publisher. Impact factors are calculated each year by the Institute for Scientific Information for those journals which it indexes, and the factors and indices are published in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). JCR includes a table of the relative rank of journals by Impact factor, in each specific science discipline, such as organic chemistry or psychiatry.

Slide 28: 

Calculation of Impact factor: The impact factor for a journal is calculated based on a three-year period, and can be considered to be the average number of times published papers are cited up to two years after publication. For example, the 2010 impact factor for a journal would be calculated as follows: A = the number of times articles published in 2008-9 were cited in indexed journals during 2010 B = the number of articles, reviews, proceedings or notes published in 2008-9 2010 impact factor = A / B Calculating the impact factor of Journal X for the year 2010 Cites in 2010 to articles published in: 2009 = 34 and 2008 = 56 Sum = 90 Number of articles published in: 2009 = 27 and 2008 = 29 Sum = 56 Calculation: Cites to recent articles 90 Divided by Number of recent articles 56= 1.607 Impact Factor
