Webinar on IEEE Xplore-Delivering research better than ever
The IEEE GRIET SB Computer Society Chapter has conducted a webinar on IEEE Xplore- Delivering research better than ever. The webinar was organized with an objective to impart thorough knowledge to the faculty of GRIET about various aspects like authoring papers, enhancing classroom sessions and accessing research papers. The session was held on 4th April 2020 from 11.00 AM to 11.30 AM, using the platform Cisco webex meetings.
The speaker of the session, Mr. Dhanukumar Pattanashetti is the client services manager at IEEE and works at the IEEE India office in Bangalore. He has a Ph.D. in Library and Information science from the University of Mysore and a Bachelor's degree in Engineering. Mr. Dhanukumar deals with IEEE Xplore Digital Library customers and handles IEEE Xplore training.
The speaker practically illustrated the options available on the webpage and their basic functionalities like searching for articles related to a specific domain, finding papers published from a particular region, filing for patents, searching for authors e.t.c. IEEE Xplore consists of a wide range of journals each dedicated to a distinct field and these journals consist of a number of articles all related to a specific subject. Hence, the speaker advised the participants to look into the aim and scope of the journals before publishing. Mr. Dhanukumar began his presentation by stating how IEEE Xplore can aid the faculty members while authoring papers and to get novel ideas to work with students for their projects. He visually demonstrated the method to search and access articles from a number of journals and conferences with the help of the IEEE Xplore webpage. He also mentioned the ‘My Xplore Smartphone’ app which provides an added convenience for IEEE Xplore users.
He stated that IEEE encourages its publishers to submit additional media like audio, videos e.t.c pertaining to their idea. He added that it also provides a provision with which the algorithm used to publish can be shared.
The session also focussed on how technology trends and the impact of one’s article can be tracked with the help of citations that appear at the metrics. The article’s stature online can also be known with metrics. These citations are extremely useful and can be used by the publisher as positive outcomes of their articles. The option ‘more like this’ displays more articles related to a particular area which helps users access more content.
Mr. Dhanukumar described in a detailed fashion, the process of setting alerts to get notified when a new article is published.
The steps are as follows:
- Visit IEEE Xplore.
- Sign in to your personal account using your sign-in credentials.
- Search for your area of interest in the search bar.
- Save the search query.
- Click on alerts. The saved searches will be displayed.
- Click on enable.
This process helps one to receive email alerts whenever an article associated with one’s area of interest is published. The email consists of a hyperlink that navigates to the published article.
He also mentioned other important options like the advanced search, command search and proximity operator that help users to search for articles by having the keywords close to each other. This helps to obtain more relevant articles. The speaker also cited that the IEEE author center is a dedicated webpage that provides a one-stop platform that answers all the queries related to paper publishing. Furthermore, he gave a brief overview of the publication recommender which identifies the right journal to publish an article. Apart from this, he added that MIT publishes 10 Breakthrough technologies. These 10 types of research can be found in IEEE Xplore which comprehensively adds its value.
The webinar concluded with a Q&A session where faculty members came up with valuable doubts regarding paper citations, IEEE author center e.t.c. The session was extremely informative and educated the attendees about the IEEE publication.
