References

Introduction

Dr Mark Hill

There are a number of different places where references appear on pages ono this website. This current page describes the structure of where these references appear and resources to find references. An extension has been installed in this site that allows automatic reference formatting even if only the PubMed ID number is known. Students looking for a tutorial on how to add references to the website, should look at the Reference Tutorial.

Referencing on Pages

Some Recent Findings

Show near the top of content pages after the "Introduction" section. These are new research articles, reviews, reports or findings that relate to that specific topic. Note this section is generally only updated when the page is being edited or related undergraduate teaching pages are being prepared.

In Text Citations

Shown as numbered superscripts using and extension that allows automatic reference formatting using the PubMed ID. The actual reference format/layout has been structured by the site author and can be universally updated by changing a single extension associated file.

References

Shown near the bottom of content pages. This is the formatted list of references that appear on that page. Links at the end of each reference include Pubmed, Pubmed Central and the original Journal if available.

Beneath this list can be a number of sub-headings including: Journals, Reviews, Articles and Search Pubmed.

Discussion/Talk Page

Shown as a tab at the top of the content page, references are added here to show paper abstracts and also for potential use on the content page. References are listed here chronologically by year with most reset at the top of the page, paper titles are shown as sub-headings, author, abstract and Pubmed link are also shown. These discussion pages are also linked by the Category:References, shown at the bottom of the page. Note the only other pages where this category appears is on this current page and the reference tutorial page.

When the "Discussion" tab is selected, a new page opens that I liken this to the other side of the current page where you can prepare draft information etc. At the top of each discussion page the following information is also shown.

About Discussion Pages

On this website the Discussion Tab for a topic, or "talk pages", are used for several purposes: References - recent and historic that relates to the topic, Additional topic information - currently in draft format, Links - to original UNSW Embryology webpages, Topic page - an edit history as used on other Wiki sites, Student Projects - online project discussions.

Category:References

The Category:References is on Discussion pages where references are listed. Currently the only other pages where this category appears is on this current page and the reference tutorial page.

9 November 2011 (EST) - 193 pages are listed in this category.

Medline Database

MEDLINE is a literature database of life sciences and biomedical information containing review and research articles. See also Project Referencing to generate references within your project, a reference list on your page and formatting the pubmed reference link.

Pubmed MEDLINE is the National Library of Medicine (NLM) USA premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences." (NCBI)
- MH - I would prefer reference links to be added pointing to this database.

UNSW also has the MEDLINE database available through the Library using Sirius.
- While it is essentially the same reference database, some papers will have different access rights based upon the university's subscriptions.

Searching with nearly any term will result in a large number of results that can be made more specific by either:

Using "Preview/Index" option to carry out an additional search and then combining with your first result. (#1 AND #2) or
Using "Limits" option to set limits on your search results. (review, years, english, etc)

OMIM Database

OMIM - "OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative, and timely compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes. The full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 12,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype."
