We’ve all finished our latest updates, we’re working together to save you lots of money.
#YOUTUBE DEVONAGENT PRO SOFTWARE#
Whether you’re mapping out your next novel, finishing your dissertation, planning a product, or writing memories for your grandkids, these great tools will help.Īs is our custom in this season, we’re hosting a gathering of software artisans who are working to transform research and writing for a new era. The new season brings new plans, fresh projects, and great new ideas. The world is at war, the disease is still with us, and we're all tired. There are also other services, e.g., Mendeley as research network, which can help you a lot when it comes to new literature. So are (good) colleagues (within and beyond your own workgroup) who contribute, and the aforementioned weak ties. Conferences are another very important venue for knowledge exchange which are not covered here. And it will not cover every journal - and journals are only part of the conversation. Warning and Concluding Remarksĭoes it help to stay on top of the new literature? Yes, partly, you still have to get it (and given the copyright limitations and the poor fax copy I frequently received, that’s a challenge beyond the text) and read it … and understand it … and use it. I check this database every two days for new entries (repeating OmniFocus event, “Due again 2 days after completion” - it stays current and does not self-replicate if I forget it for a week). You can also use a Smart Group in DEVON think (or folder in Mail) for “unread” - which shows you how many entries you haven’t checked. Once a new issue is available, the RSS feeds are updated and you see the folder in bold.

The title usually is a link back to the journal itself (right-click, “Open Link in Browser” in DEVON think), where you can check the full entry and (if available) download the PDF. Depending on the journal they contain at least the title, sometimes also the whole abstract. In the RSS Feed group/folder, you see the individual articles as items. I have added a few of these search terms in my “Community RSS” database as well. You get a link (see below) you can copy in your mail program as RSS feed or in DEVON think that will inform you when this search has new hits on ScienceDirect. If you click on it and confirm the search: If you use their search feature and look at the results, you see an RSS Option on top (red rectangle): Using RSS Feeds to get informed about new search resultsĪnother nice service is by ScienceDirect. I highly recommend Thomson & Kamler (2013) here again (here: the template based strongly on their book). That goes beyond journals - it’s not the journal, it’s the community and your role in it that matters. You have to find your own journals - and, more importantly, find out what you community is (or your communities are).
#YOUTUBE DEVONAGENT PRO HOW TO#
Here are the journals I have subscribed to as zipped OPML file (note: focus on psychology: organizational learning, learning with media, museums, education if you do not know how to import it, open it with a text editor and extract the RSS links manually). The RSS feeds are in groups (Journals, Retractions & Frauds/Writing Blogs, News Feeds) sorted “By Date Modifyed” and “Descending” - which puts the journals with new entries on the top in each folder. Given that 9 interesting journals do not offer RSS feeds, I have included folders to remind me of them. Personally, I have created a DEVON think database called “ Community RSS” which currently contains the RSS feeds for 75 journals, 7 blogs and 1 news service. Using RSS Feeds to get informed about new journal articles You can add such a feed in most mail programs or some specialized programs (like DEVON think - via Data/Actions => New => Feed). Many online journals offer to alert you whenever their next issue comes out via RSS feeds. You do not need to visit each journal in search for the next issue, you can make the next issue come to you. Here, I’d like to focus on one very useful way: getting the journal/science databases RSS feeds. There are a lot of ways, from doing literature research with online databases, using the strength of weak ties to get interesting articles, to participation/screening of conferences, becoming a reviewer, and much, much more. How can you stay on top of your domain? How do you find out what happens? But how do you get the input to select from? Like the old Chinese Proverb said: “Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.” You have to select, of course, you can’t ready everything.
But no matter the perspective, you have to read a lot. Seen negatively, it’s like treading quicksand, seen positively, you’re the guy at the delivery entrance of a candy store. Staying on top of your domain in science is hard, very hard. “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” by Robert A. If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.
