How to go from Abstract/Reference/Citation to Full Text

If you find in the results only an abstract/citation/summary, please follow the steps below to get to the journal and ultimately article:

You will need to use a database called A-Z list (the very first database on our list).
A-Z list is an index of all the journals we are subscribed to plus in which database you will be able to find the journal in full text. So when we do a search in A-Z list we do NOT do an author search or an article title search or a topic search. You have to do a JOURNAL TITLE search as it is only an index of journal titles. (This will not be a problem as the reference will include the journal title)

Here are the instructions:
* Go to the UJ Library list of databases
* Click on A-Z list (a list of all our electronic journals)
* Your surname is your user id and your student number your password.
* Click on Search
* Type in the journal that you are looking for and click on search
* A list of journal titles that contain the words you type in will be displayed
* Click on the blue database title and the journal will open (If your journal is NOT listed i.e. you get a 0 matches found reply, then we do not have a copy in our library ~ please request the article through an Interlibrary Loan)
* Click on the volume and issue
* Click on the article you are looking for (blue and underlined) and it will open up

Credit crackdown: cases in which a senior academic takes credit as a co-author on a junior colleague’s research paper should be defined as plagiarism if he or she has not made a significant contribution to the work, it was argued this week.

ISI-ranked journal call for papers on 'Personal knowledge management'

Online Information Review - Call for Papers

Special Issue - Personal Knowledge Management as related to the Internet and online sources of information and knowledge. While the traditional view of KM is primarily concerned with managing organisational knowledge, including the knowledge that individuals possess in their heads, through combinations of technology and management processes, the core focus of PKM is 'personal inquiry' - the quest to find, connect, learn and explore. One question that immediately arises, then, is this: Is there an inherent conflict between organisational KM and PKM?

Therefore we have organized this special issue of Online Information Review to delve both deeply and broadly into the area of PKM as it relates to the Internet and online sources of information, knowledge. To achieve this objective both empirical research and conceptual articles are being sought.
Possible topic areas include, but are not limited to:
* The role of technology in PKM *Personal productivity tools * Web 2.0 * Knowledge/ information retrieval * Blogs and wikis * Social and business networking tools * The history of PKM and the Internet * Approaches to PKM – dealing with information overload, quality of online information, etc. *PKM and organisational KM: conflicting or matching objectives; integrating knowledge management systems approaches * PKM and the knowledge society: knowledge workers, social and knowledge networking, e-government * Cultural perspectives of PKM technology and applications * PKM and online education: lifelong learning, training
