New Library Security Gate System at the Samuel J. Wood Library, Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC)

Attention: MSK Library Users

Effective Tuesday, September 22, MSK staff who visits the Samuel J. Wood Library will need to have a special library-issued access card to enter and exit the library’s new gates during regular operating hours.

In order for MSK staff to obtain this access card from WCMC, they need to be registered or be an active user in their home-library system.  If you are not sure of your MSK Library status, don’t hesitate to ASK US!

In addition, WCMC have extended their hours of operation.

MSK staff should continue to go to their home library for research or literature requests, document delivery, or other services.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Follow an Author’s Citation Trends in Scopus

Want to determine which sources a particular author cites most often? Follow these easy steps in Scopus to analyze citation counts from an author’s total publications. It could be a useful way of keeping up with the literature in your area of interest…

  1. Perform an ‘Author Search’ and search for the author of interest
  2. Find the correct author from the results list and click on the author’s name
  3. From the author’s detail page, find the ‘Author History’ box on the right and click on the number next to ‘References’
  4. This opens the search results window and lists the references the author has cited across his or her publications
  5. Click on ‘Analyze search results’ and open the ‘Source’ tab
  6. Here you’ll not only see a list of the top sources the author references (and number of documents from each source), but you can also use the graph to view even more details, or create a chart in which you can compare journal metric values
  7. You can also export, print and email the information from the charts

Take a look at the video to view these steps in action. You can also ask us if you have any questions about citation metrics.
