Finding Content on Men’s Health from the Summon Search

In honor of National Men’s Health Week (June 12 – June 18), here is a quick tip for finding men’s health-related content (scholarly articles, books, newspaper articles, etc.) using the search box (Summon) on the Library’s homepage.

  1. Type a simple phrase (or any search terms) into the Summon search box like follows: men’s health
  2. Use the filters in the left sidebar to limit the search results to newspaper articles and magazine articles. Hint: click More… below the CONTENT TYPE filter section
  3. Click APPLY at the top of the page
  4. Limit to content published from 2010-present

The filters built in to Summon are a good way of reducing the overall number of results, especially when searching for a general or broad topic. The remaining set of results for a search on men’s health should now be focused to relatively recent newspaper/magazine sources. You can easily change the filters to retrieve any publication type depending on your needs.

Linking to Research Datasets in Scopus

Research dataset links can now be found while using Scopus. Through collaboration with the Data Literature Interlinking (DLI) service and Scholix, Scopus is able to link articles with datasets when available on the external data repository. Now, when research datasets are available on the external data repository for an article, the Scopus Document details page will include a “Related Research Data” sidebar, located to the right of the article details.
