  2. References • Functions • Criteria for selecting references • Incorporating references into the text • Citation and reference software

  3. Functions of References • Direct readers to sources of other information • Give credit to the findings of others

  4. Criteria for selecting references • Valid: Journal articles (most thru the peer-review process) Books Theses • Available: Journal Articles > Books > Theses & Proceedings • Few: Keep references to the fewest necessary Choose the most important, the most relevant, & the most recent.

  5. Incorporating references into the text (I) • Two ways to cite references: (i) One emphasizes the science: e.g. IKK phosphorylates IkB (23). (ii) One emphasizes the scientists: e.g. Karin et al. (23) found that IKK phosphorylates IkB.

  6. Incorporating references into the text (II) • Two types of ref citation are used in the text: (i) Number citation: e.g. IKK phosphorylates IkB (23). (ii) Author and year citation: e.g. It is demonstrated that IKK phosphorylates IkB (Karin et al. 1997) .

  7. Incorporating references into the text (III) • Style of the references: (1) Follow the journal rules (2) Format in a single style e.g. Vancouver-style reference R. Medzhitov, P. Preston-Hurlburt and C.A. Janeway, Nature388 (1997), pp. 394–7. • Accuracy: (1) Verify the citation of a article (Authors’ names, Title, Journal, Year, Vol, & Page No.) (2) Correlation of the ref list

  8. Citation and reference software (1) EndNote (2) Reference Manger (Today’s lecture based on Version X, most recent version XI)

  9. EndNote’s Functions (1) Search bibliographic databases on the internet (1) Search bibliographic databases on the internet (2) Organize references and images in a database (3) Construct your paper with built-in manuscript templates (4) Watch the bibliography and figure list appear as you write

  10. Connect Connect PubMed Search bibliographic databases on the internet Choose “Tools”

  11. EndNote’s Functions (1) Search bibliographic databases on the internet (2) Organize references in a database (3) Construct your paper with built-in manuscript templates (4) Watch the bibliography and figure list appear as you write

  12. EndNote’s Functions (1) Search bibliographic databases on the internet (2) Organize references in a database (3) Construct your paper with built-in manuscript templates (4) Watch the bibliography and figure list appear as you write

  13. EndNote’s Functions (1) Search bibliographic databases on the internet (2) Organize references in a database (3) Construct your paper with built-in manuscript templates (4) Watch the bibliography and figure list appear as you write

  14. Acknowledgements Title Abstract Main Text Introduction Materials & Methods Results & Figures Discussion Acknowledgements

  15. Acknowledgements (1) Acknowledge any significant technical help in your lab or elsewhere. (2) Acknowledge the source of materials. (3) Acknowledge any outside financial assistance, e.g. grants, fellowships….etc.

  16. Tips for preparing Acknowledgements (1) Being courteous (2) Being appropriate and Do not flatter (3) No “Wish” in Acknowledgements. e.g. I wish to thank …….. => I thank……..

  17. Front Page (1) Title & Running Title (2) Author and Institution Names Corresponding Author Information (e.g. email, fax,..etc) (3) Keywords

  18. Introduction & Purpose Title (One sentence or one phrase) Abstract (One paragraph) Materials & Methods Results & Figures Conclusions & Discussion Main text Overview sections The order to write a paper Write the main text first and then the overview sections

  19. Title • Functions: • State the main point in a sentence or a phrase • A good Title attracts readers

  20. Tips for preparing a good Title • Concise: • Short titles have more impact than long titles do. • (2) Important word first • Subtitles • (3) Accurate

  21. A Word A Phrase Examples of Titles (1) • TAB3 is a new binding partner of the protein kinase TAK1 • TAB3, a new binding partner of the protein kinase TAK1 (Biochem J, 2004)

  22. Examples of Titles (II) (1) Wnt-1 signal induces phosphorylation and degradation of c-Myb protein via TAK1, HIPK2, and NLK (Genes Dev, 2004) (2) Regulation of Cell Proliferation by a Morphogen Gradient(Cell, 2005)

  23. Running Title (1) A “Running Title” functions to identify the article. (2) Use a “Short Phrase” and appear at the top or bottom of every page. (3) Pick key terms and put words in the same order as “Title”.

  24. Author and Institution Names • (1) Identify the authors • Contact information: • A corresponding author required for Reprints, Communication, & Materials • (3) Use asterisks or footnotes to organize the author and institution names

  25.

Correspondence should be addressed to Shizuo Akira sakira@biken.osaka-u.ac.jp Example

  26. Keywords • Link your article to the related fields • Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) Keywords • (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html) • (3) Pick up from the Title or Abstract. • (4) Facilitate readers to identify your article from a database

  27. Examples of Titles (II) (1) Wnt-1 signal induces phosphorylation and degradation of c-Myb protein via TAK1, HIPK2, and NLK (Genes Dev, 2004) (2) Regulation of Cell Proliferation by a Morphogen Gradient(Cell, 2005)

  28. Homework • Practice “References, Acknowledgements, & Front page” • We will discuss them on the 12/013 lecture.
