Health Scientific Searching and Publishing (2016)

  • Description: he course is aimed at doctoral students and researchers in the health sciences, seeking to increase their knowledge of effective and explorative information search tools and strategies as well as handling the information and publishing their work in relevant journals. The course uses a mixture of lectures and hands-on training to improve the skills of the students. The training sessions will allow the students to use their own information needs.

    The course will cover the following topics:
    Health scientific literature searching: Starting from a theoretical view on research topics in connection with search strategies, the student will learn to use tools such as PICO to formulate structured search queries for use in bibliographic literature databases such as PubMed and Embase. Also the differences between various health-related databases will be discussed, allowing the student to choose appropriate sources rather than relying on just one. As examples of useful databases, there will be training in PubMed and Embase, using structured queries with the MeSH and EMTREE tools. The students will learn to document literature searches and create a protocol in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Other databases, such as CINAHL and PsycInfo, can be included in the training sessions. The final part of the topic will cover the acquisition of full-text documents from the results in above mentioned databases.

    Reference handling:
    Inserting and formatting references in a manuscript can be tedious work if done manually. Tools like RefWorks and Mendeley can automate this process and also help the student keep track of PDF’s and papers to read. The course will offer introduction and training in either of these tools. If you do not want to participate in the Reference handling part of the course, you cannot leave the course. In a separate location you can perform literature searches assisted by one of the lectureres.

    Publication strategies:
    The course will conclude with lectures and group work on a number of topics concerning publication strategies. The topics will include open access, selecting journals for publishing, considerations about titles, abstracts and keywords, indicators of research impact, such as the journal impact factor and citation counts and scientific misconduct. The implications of the Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator will be presented and how it will affect you as a researcher at Aalborg University/Aalborg University Hospital. 
    Research evaluation:
    The course will focus on how you can use citations in your search for and evaluation of scientific literature. The two major multidisciplinary citation databases Web of Science and Scopus will be demonstrated. The databases differ in coverage and strengths/weaknesses.

Library Information Management - Fall 1 (2016)

Welcome to Library Information Management, Fall 1

Please observe that this course is intended for PhD students within the Faculty of Engineering and Science. We offer a similar course for PhD students within the Faculty of Medicine "Health Scientific Searching and Publishing".

Description:
The purpose of this course is to give you skills to search, evaluate and organize the information you need as a researcher. The course will also focus on the important aspects when publishing your research results and having a publication strategy. In connection with the course you are going to work with your own PhD-research project, e.g. creating systematic searches and working with a publication strategy. The course can be recommended to students starting their PhDs.

The course does not focus on methods for medical information searching and publishing. If you want to focus on medical information searching and publishing you must attend the course Health Scientific Searching and Publishing. You can see the course description on Phd Moodle at AAU.

Search strategies
Methods to search information following structured search strategies will be introduced - needed e.g. for when doing a literature review. You learn to limit, evaluate and process your search results. The course is a “toolbox for research” course and you are going to work hands-on with search strategies for your own PhD-project in a workshop form.

Publication strategy
Impact, citations, and visibility in the scientific community are factors crucial for researchers to be aware of and be able to evaluate according to your own publication strategy. Different evaluation metrics such as journal impact and h-index will also be introduced as well as the databases where you find these metrics. The implications of the Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator will be presented and how it will affect you as a researcher at Aalborg University.

Preparation before the course
There is a reading list that you will find as a file attached to the course description. Please read the articles. As preparation for the class exercises you are asked to skim an article that it also attached.

Exercises
There will be both class exercises and home exercises. The home exercises are introduced during the course. You are required to finish the home exercises at home and return them by a specific date. You can get feedback on the exercises.

Accommodation
There will be coffee, tea and a breakfast roll in the morning. Lunch you have to bring yourself or go to the canteen at Fibigerstræde 15 to buy. There is approximately a 10 minutes’ walk to the canteen. 

Course language
English.

Hint
Remember to bring your computer.

Deadline: 1 September 2016

Important information concerning PhD courses:

We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
