  1. Maintaining Argo bibliographies

  2. Goal and Benefits of bibliographies • Goal: to maintain the three bibliographies of peer reviewed papers relating to Argo and to floats in general • Benefits: • Provides information on how researchers are actually using Argo data • Scientists can find papers with uses of Argo data that pertain to their research • Good database to look for concrete examples of how Argo is impacting current research • Gives advance look at papers that are in press and will be out soon

  3. Argo in Press Bibliography • Rely entirely on authors notifying me of submitted papers • Call for submissions at a couple times and locations: • In newsletters • In call for national reports

  4. Old Method Steps taken to maintain Argo and all float type bibliographies: • Add any submissions authors or others send me (few papers are added this way) • Request submissions through the newsletter and email for national reports • Check Web of Science search engine and Ocean Science website monthly for new papers • Web of Science searches various oceanographic journals • Ocean Science is online oceanographic publication • Keyword “Argo or floats”

  5. New Method • Search directly in databases of some of the more popular journals like JPO, GRL, Deep Sea Research, etc. • Found three new search engines: • SCIRUS (Elsevier, Deep Sea Res, etc.) • American Meteorological Society (JPO, J of Atmosph & Ocean Tech, J of Climate, etc) • AGU (Geophys Res Lttrs) • Continue searching Web of Science and Ocean Science • Continue to request submissions

  6. Recent Results & Conclusions • New search engines added 26 more articles in 2006 - 2007 time period • Brings total to ~ 100 papers/year for 2006 and 2007 • Web of Science is slow – takes longer for papers to show up there and sometimes they never appear • This helps, but most likely, I’m still missing articles

  7. What to do next? • Continue with new method of using several search engines • Add other search engines? • Encourage PIs to send me their paper citations & others they know of • Continue soliciting citations in call for national reports and in newsletters • Add request for citations to top of bibliography pages on website • Monitor page with Google Analytics to see number of visitors to gauge interest • Other suggestions?
