6 of The Best Web Tools for Organizing and Managing Citations, References and Bibliographies April 1, 2015 One of the onerous parts in essay and academic writing is the bibliography section. Managing, organizing and citing references can sometimes be a real challenge especially if you don't keep track of what and who you cite. The last thing you would want after a strenuous writing task is a messy bibliography with one reference missing page numbers the other needs publication date or, worse of all, having to go back to your sources to check for the source of that quotation you included in your conclusion. If you find yourself constantly grappling with problems such as these, the web tools below are absolutely something you might need to consider. 1- Zotero "Zotero collects all your research in a single, searchable interface. RefWorks -- an online research management, writing and collaboration tool -- is designed to help researchers easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies.3- Mendeley 5- EasyBib
The Development of Audiovisual Multisensory Integration Across Childhood and Early Adolescence: A High-Density Electrical Mapping Study + Author Affiliations Address correspondence to Dr Sophie Molholm, Departments of Pediatrics and Neuroscience, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Van Etten Building—1C, 1225 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461. Email: sophie.molholm@einstein.yu.edu. Abstract The integration of multisensory information is essential to forming meaningful representations of the environment. Introduction The ability to construct meaningful internal representations of the environment depends on integrating and segregating the myriad multisensory inputs that enter the nervous system at a given moment. Still, optimal benefit from multisensory inputs often requires experience, and there is every reason to expect that there is a typical developmental course for the “tuning-up” of multisensory integration (MSI) (Lewkowicz 2002; Bair et al. 2007; Lewkowicz and Ghazanfar 2009). To date, knowledge of the development of the neurophysiological processes that underlie MSI comes largely from animal studies. Participants

Abstract No clinically proven method currently exists to determine if a test taker is feigning or exaggerating symptoms of a specific reading disability (RD) for potential secondary gain (i.e., extra time on examinations, access to bursary funds, or tax benefits). Introduction Students with disabilities are entering the post-secondary educational sector in increasing numbers (Blackorby & Wagner, 1996; Canadian Association of Disability Service Providers in Postsecondary Education, 1999; Harrison & Wolforth, 2006; McGuire, 1998). Students may exaggerate symptoms for a number of reasons and may not always qualify for the label of “malingering” (Kane, 2008). Osmon, Plambeck, Klein, and Mano (2006) were the first to investigate ways to identify those feigning a reading disorder.
How Google Docs' research tool removes drudgery from reports and presentations You’re frantically racing toward a deadline to complete a multi-page report or slideshow presentation, but research is slowing you down. Not tracking down the information so much as the constant bouncing between your work document and web browser, and cycling through the confusing morass of open tabs to find that webpage or image you need. If you use Google’s free office suite, there’s an easier way—a built in research tool that lets you search for the information you need and easily add it to the Google Doc or Google Slide you’re working on without having to leave the page. Here’s how to get started. Access the research tool Google offers three ways to access the research tool pane. Unless you’ve accessed it via selected text, the first time you open the research tool it will display a list of topics based on the content of your document or slide.

Abstract Hearing impairment represents the most common sensory deficit in humans. Hearing disorders are the most common sensory deficit in humans and represent a heavy social and economic burden to individuals and societies alike (1). In many cases of hearing impairment, hearing devices such as cochlear implants are prescribed to achieve well-functioning hearing. One of the essential genes in inner ear cells is Cacna1d, which encodes the pore-forming α1D subunit (Cav1.3) of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (LTCCs) (10).

Research Strategies - AAA Shared Resource Guide - LibGuides at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Before you start entering any search terms, spend a few minutes trying to think of as many relevant terms and combinations of terms as you can. This will help you to avoid getting stuck in a rut with the first terms that come to mind. If you need help in coming up with terms, you may want to try the "Thesaurus" or "Subject Headings" features in the database you've chosen. Check out the "Help" or "Search Tips" to learn some of the search features specific to that database. Most databases provide similar features, but the methods may vary. truncation = To use truncation, enter the root of a search term and replace the ending with an * (asterisk). Try the databases' Advanced Search feature, which usually gives you the ability to search multiple fields (author, title, keyword, subject, etc) with one search and may offer additional ways to expand or limit your search. If your first search strategy does not work, try another approach.
Too Little, Too Late: Reduced Visual Span and Speed Characterize Pure Alexia Pure alexia is an acquired reading disorder that leaves writing unaffected. Pure alexic reading is usually slow with single-word reading characterized by a pronounced word length effect; reaction times (RTs) in reading increase linearly with word length, often with hundreds of milliseconds per letter (Behrmann, Plaut, and Nelson 1998). Theories of pure alexia can be roughly divided into 2 groups: 1) Domain-specific accounts, suggesting that pure alexia arises due to damage to a cognitive system or cerebral area specialized for recognizing visual word forms (Warrington and Shallice 1980; Warrington and Langdon 1994; Cohen et al. 2003; Cohen and Dehaene 2004); 2) General visual accounts, claiming that pure alexia reflects a general deficit in visual perception (Farah and Wallace 1991; Behrmann, Nelson, and Sekuler 1998), often conceptualized as a primary impairment in simultaneous perception or parallel processing (Farah, 2004).

How to Read a Journal Article Journal articles can be challenging to read, but most contain many of the same components. Once you understand the structure of each article, understanding the content is much simpler. Journal articles normally contain the following parts. For each part, try to identify the following: Abstract The abstract is normally one paragraph that appears before the article. Literature Review The literature review is often at the beginning of the article. Methods The methods section follows the literature review. Results The results section follows the methods. Conclusion/Discussion The conclusion or discussion section follows the results section.
