Each databin within the project can be filled in several different ways by creating different resources:
Applicable to databases directly integrated in MemOwl, meaning that searches can be conducted directly within the MemOwl environment (e.g. PubMed, Crossref, ArXiv). Some database has its own limits for downloading results (e.g. for PubMed it is 10 000 references per search).
At the moment PubMed search is performed as “all fields” search (with AND as default), CrossRef is searchable by DOI.
➡️ Choose a database and start the search process:
➡️ First 10 references are automatically downloaded and shown. If you are happy with the results, choose Next, If you want to modify the query, select Back.
Loading a file with research results obtained by the user from other databases. MemOwl is able to automatically import various formats (see the list below which will be gradually expanded).
| Source name | File format | Supported in File upload | Supported in Clipboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| EspaceNET | CSV | ✔️ | ❌ |
| PubMed | TXT (Pubmed) | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Scopus | RIS | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Web of Science | TXT, RIS | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Google Scholar | RIS | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Journal websites (Elsevier, Wiley production, Nature, Science) | RIS | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Internal result list export | REF | ✔️ | ❌ |
➡️ Select a file from your computer (preferably in one of the supported format):
➡️ If the file is parsed properly, the number of found references will be displayed, and at the same time, the titles of the first ten references will be automatically shown. This feature allows users to quickly and easily verify the accuracy of the parsing process.
➡️ In the last step, name and save the resource:
