Conferencia realizado del 12 al 14 de setiembre en Lima, Peru del 2012 en el marco del 15º Simposio Internacional de Tesis y Disertaciones Electrónicas (ETD 2012). Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). / Title: Trends in Use of Citation Management Tools in Theses and Dissertations
Authors: Charles J. Greenberg, Special Projects Librarian, Cushing/Whitney
Medical Library, Yale University
Length of presentation: 20 minutes
Objective: Citation Management (CM) tools for scholarly writing predate the web
browser. The advantages of current cloud-based tools, either free or subscription,
support the expectation that every academic candidate for an advanced degree has an
opportunity to use CM tools. CM improves the efficiency of scholarly writing and
improves the formatted appearance of the electronic thesis or dissertation (ETD).
The expanding range of desktop and cloud-based CM alternatives may demand
student attention and potentially detract from the completion process. Do universities
with ETD programs use their academic libraries to support the CM selection process,
or do universities limit choices? How have universities supporting ETDs reacted to
the emergence of new credible CM applications that offer attractive options for
certain disciplines or devices?
Methods: A brief survey was distributed to the ETD support community and social
networks to ascertain the impact of burgeoning choices in CM for both students and
the ETD administrative staff.
Results: Pending survey and analysis
Conclusions: Pending survey and analysis
