Spring Workshops!

Journal Submission Process - March 6th, 2pm

While each journal does things somewhat differently, the overall submission process for an academic journal is fairly standard, and it can be useful when thinking about or working on an article for such a journal to know what is expected of you and what you can expect from the journal. This session will discuss the process of being published, including peer reviewing and your rights as an author.

 For all students working on a thesis or dissertation, this workshop will provide details about formatting & submission requirements. Location: Library Training Room 204.

New Databases: Web of Science, Mergent Online & MEDLINE

The library is happy to announce that it has obtained subscriptions to the Web of Science, Mergent and MEDLINE databases. >>

Web of Science & Journal Citation Reports

Are you a student or faculty member who needs to do a citation search? Do you need to find impact factors for journals? Are you applying for promotion or tenure?

Unfortunately, our library doesn't currently subscribe to the Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports databases, but, we have good news! They are available at the New York Public Library (NYPL).

Web of Science provides access to the Science Citation Index, the Social Sciences Citation Index, and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index. Journal Citation Reports allows you to find impact factors for a diversity of journals.

NYPL is a public library, so you can walk in and use the resources. Just remember that sometimes there may be a waiting list for computer use. The NYPL research libraries are excellent, and the librarians there are very knowledgeable and helpful.

There are two NYPL research libraries that are very easy to get to from Hoboken - check out the Science, Industry, and Business Library (SIBL, located at 34th Street and Madison Avenue) and the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (located at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue).

Be sure to check the NYPL website for library hours and directions to the library before you make the trip. You can use the PATH train or NJ Transit bus to get you close to these libraries.

People who are not New York residents may pay a $100 annual fee to obtain a NYPL card, so as to access NYPL online research resources remotely. Check out their website for more information.

Ask a Librarian here at the Stevens Library if you have any questions!
