Citation Software

 

RefWorks is a citation management software provided to you by the INSEAD Research & Learning Hubs.
It lets you export citations directly from research databases into your personal account. You can then manage these citations by using folders and sharing them with colleagues. It also helps you create bibliographies and in-text citations in the style of your choice.

Access: There is no need to purchase a licence for RefWorks, just create an account by going through our alphabetical list of resources. If you are off-campus, you may be asked for a group code, please contact us if you need this information.

EndNote is a citation management tool which allows you to keep and manage your own “library” of article references. Unlike RefWorks, there is no institutional licence for EndNote. You should purchase your individual licence by submitting your request via the purchasing department.

A word about adding references to your EndNote Library
 

Article databases have improved their direct exporting features to facilitate direct export from the source towards your EndNote library. This is the easiest and recommended way to add references to your account. The steps detailed below will refer to direct exporting whenever possible and apply only to the Internet Explorer web browser.

In addition to direct exporting you can also add references by using connection files or import filters:

EndNote "connection files" provide access to online databases so that you can search them from within the EndNote program. Each database requires its unique connection file. These files have an ".enz" extension, please contact us if you have a question about a connection file or look it up on the Endnote website.

EndNote "import filters" provide a way to import references in text format into your EndNote library. Each import filter is designed to import references downloaded from a specific database. These files have an ".enf" extension, please refer to the EndNote manual if you have a question about an import filter.

Contact the Research & Learning Hub if you have any questions using EndNote.

Google Scholar

 

Google Scholar often provides links to full-text articles. To give you access to even more articles, we have implemented the "Library Links" feature which gives you seamless access from Google Scholar to articles in our collection. If it is not already activated on your browser, see the steps below.

How to activate Library Links:

  1. Use this link, or
  2. Go to the Scholar Settings page
  3. Type "INSEAD" under "Library Links" and select: INSEAD - Get it at INSEAD
  4. Save your preferences
  5. When viewing the search results, follow the "Get it at INSEAD" link on the right-hand side to go directly to the full-text
  6. If this is not displayed, click on "More" underneath the reference, then on "Check availability @INSEAD" which allows you to order the article from the Library using a prefilled form

Please keep in mind:

After viewing the full-text, you may need to double-click on the "back" button to return to your Google Scholar results. Sometimes just one click will not work. 

Not all our subscribed content is available using this feature, due to publisher restrictions. Use Journal Finder and the academic literature databases to find all the articles in the Library's collection.

The Library Catalogue is the main tool for finding books. But you can also search for books directly in Google by typing your keywords followed by the words librarycatalogue (all one word) and insead.

The resulting link will lead you directly to the book’s record in the catalogue, where you can check the book’s location, call number and table of contents.

Please note that Google's spell-check sometimes interprets these keywords as a typing error; if so, just click on the suggestion which searches 'librarycatalogue' as one word:

Tips: This feature works best when your keywords are as specific as possible:

  • avoid broad words (such as 'management')
  • add the author's name to the title keywords, if you know it
  • use quotes around your keywords if they are an exact title
  • for advanced searches, use the Library Catalogue

Please contact us if you need help with these tools or with finding Library resources.

Open Access Routes

https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/taxonomy/term/118

There are two routes to open access; the open access journals and the open access repositories or open archives.

  • The Gold route to open access is delivered via publishing an article in a journal. The journal may be an open access journal (pure open access), or a subscription based journal (hybrid open access) that offers an open access option. OA journals perform peer review
    Publication fees: The model is to charge a fee upon acceptance of an article for publication. The bill may go to the author, but is often paid by the author's funder or employer rather than by the author out of pocket. Hence this model is sometimes, misleadingly, called the "author pays" or "author fee" model. The fee is sometimes called a "processing fee" or an "article processing charge" (APC).

    Other models:
    - Subsidy
    - Freemium
    For a list of OA journals in all fields and languages, see the Directory of Open Access Journals.
     
  • The Green route to open access is delivered via self-archiving (depositing) an output into a repository. OA archives do not perform peer review.
    There are two types of repositories, general and subject repositories.
     
General repositories  

HAL      
OpenAIRE
Zenodo

Subject repositories

ArXiv
RePEc
PubMed Central
SSRN
