The student should become familiar with conducting an author search in Web of Science and Scopus.
The student should be able to follow a news story to a database in order to find primary literature.
Web of Science and Scopus.
This assignment was part of a semester long course called Chemistry Literature and Seminar which is for Junior and Senior-level chemistry majors. I typically give students about 20 minutes to finish this assignment and then make them present the findings to the rest of the class.
Evaluation
I collect this. It's typically worth 5 points. I'm mostly checking to see if they finished it or not.
I do a lit class and we do an assignment that uses WOS too. I like the use of current events. I also incorporate the use of journal impact to help evaluate sources. Not too familiar with Scopus and others. Google is helpful too! I stick mainly to SFS and BG as key chemistry database tools.
