Access Full Text Articles with Google Scholar

Posted on by

Google Scholar is a good database for when you are looking for an obscure topic and are not getting many results in other databases. While you are on-campus, you may notice a link in Google Scholar that says Fulltext@MSK. This allows you access to articles in the MSK Library’s electronic collection. You can set up Google Scholar to display these links while you are off-campus as well. Simply click on the Settings (or the gear icon) in Google Scholar, and choose Library Links. Then search for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and check it off when it appears. When you are off-campus and click on the Fulltext@MSK button, you will be asked to login with your MSK username and employee ID number. Once logged in, you will have access to MSK’s electronic content.

Additionally, in Google Scholar Settings, you can set up Google Scholar to export individual citations to EndNote (only one at a time). Under Search Results, and Bibliography manager, select Show links to import citations into EndNote. Save your settings, and do a search in Google Scholar. You will now see a link to Import into EndNote. Make sure to have your EndNote library open before you click on the link and it will import into your EndNote library automatically.

Friday Blog Buzz Roundup

  • Some of the first results from a project to reproduce cancer studies have been released and they are somewhat unexpected though understandable. NPR asks What Does it Mean When Cancer Findings Can’t be Reproduced?. Gizmodo also covered the issues being faced by the Reproducibility Project here (this version of the story has been updated to include a response from the author of one of the original studies).
  • Beall’s List, one academic librarian’s effort to list predatory journals and publishers on his blog has been taken down by the author, causing quite a stir in library circles. See coverage from Inside Higher Ed here. This blog has previously discussed Beall’s list here and here. If you have any doubt about the credibility of a journal, publisher, or conference, please contact your librarian!
