Internet sources, citing

Further information and advice related to the use of the clinical trial design can be found in a variety of sources including textbooks, manuscripts, organizations and Internet sites. In addition to the chapter reference list which cites helpful sources of information related to clinical trial protocol development, design and analysis, the following sources are also recommended. 

Where do scientists get more reliable data In principle, there are several possible sources the scientific literature is the most common source (76.67%) of POPs information followed by conferences (56.67%) and the Internet (43.33%). Mass media, such as magazines, newspapers, TV and radio were cited by only 30% of respondents as a source of information. 

Where do relevant facts and figures come from If you are consulting print material, there should be footnotes and a bibliography that show the author s sources. On the Internet, you may also find such documentation, or sources may be documented by using links to other websites (see the following section on evaluating a website based on links). Even documentaries, to use a previous example, should cite sources in their credits. 

Recently, comprehensive World Wide Web (Internet) databases have been established on insect pheromones and semiochemicals The Pherolist , a database of chemicals identified from sex pheromone glands of female lepidopteran insects and other chemicals attractive to male moths (Am et al., 1999) and The Pherobase , a database of pheromones and semiochemicals for Lepidoptera and other insect orders (El-Sayed, 2006). These large databases on behavior modifying chemicals have extensive cross-linkages for animal taxa, indexes of compounds and source (reference) indexes. The indexes include those compounds cited in this chapter and many more with pheromone and semiochemical function acetate esters, diols, epoxides, ethers, ketones and secondary alcohols. For example, The Pherolist reports approximately 90 epoxy derivatives of C17-C23 of n-alkancs, mono-alkenes and di-alkenes as insect semiochemicals. 

References to data retrieved from a stand-alone database should cite the source as a computer program (for example, MDL CrossFire Commander, see p 323 f) or as an online reference book (for example, the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, see p 305 f), with the data entry number or other identifying information included at the end of the citation. Data retrieved from an Internet-based database should cite the source as a Web site (see pp 316 ff). If the data retrieved are calculated data, also cite the software used for calculation (for example, ACD/Labs).

There is a story about Sommerfeld and thermodynamics that is cited in several sources [1, p.43], including the Internet. 

Research the Internet and find a PowerPoint presentation about fire detection systems or the toxicity of smoke. Download the presentation to a flash drive or CD and bring it to class to be presented by yourself or the instructor. Cite your sources. 

Search the Internet and find information about damage sustained by refineries and petrochemical plants by natural disasters and write a one page report on what you discovered. Cite your sources. 

The author collected available publications by means of Internet-based research at Medline, Current Contents and CiteSeer to produce a broad overview in the field of clinical applications of computer-aided diagnosis in the breast. The literature cited was chosen in order to give the reader the most convenient access to further details of the work of the related author or group. Printed publications (journal articles or books) have been preferred. Conference proceedings or electronic sources were chosen for citation when no printed publication was available. The list... 

In a book of this kind, which is an introduction to nutrition and metabolism, it is not appropriate to cite the original scientific literature which provides the (sometimes conflicting) evidence for the statements made in the clinical problems and some of the tables of data I have acknowledged my sources of data as a simple courtesy to my follow scientists, and also to guide readers to the original sources of information. Otherwise, the suggestions for fiarther reading and Internet sites listed under additional resources are intended to provide an entry to the scientific literature. 

Use an Internet search or some other source (perhaps a fellow student familiar with biochemistry) to determine the structure of the nitrogen-base adenine. Cite your source. Use your results to draw a structure similar to Figure 6.11a in which adenine is shown instead of guanine. 

In this revision, I tried to stay true to the features that attracted me to the text initially, well described in Professor Stowell s preface to the second edition. The organization of the book remains much the same. The chapter on mechanisms has been moved to early pages of the book, as has been the chapter on pericyclic reactions. My inclination is to teach mechanisms early as a foundation for the study of reactions, but all the chapters have been written with the intent that they can be introduced to the student in any order. As much as possible, open source materials are cited allowing students ready access to the original literature, but at the same time, the early work on a topic is found in older literature and that historical value is recognized. The second chapter has been completely rewritten to focus on internet accessible resources. The last chapter has also been completely rewritten to focus on a survey of organic spectroscopy.
