Important Announcement: The New Library System and updated E-resource login process are Here!. As part of OhioLINK, Ohio's academic library consortium, the NEOMED Library is updating its 30-year-old shared systems. The new system allows researchers to "discover" print and electronic resources with a single search. Click here to start using the new system. Additionally, we have also changed the way that you all will login for off-campus access to the electronic resources provided by the NEOMED Library. All NEOMED students, faculty, clinical faculty, staff, and retirees, will click on the "Login using your NEOMED Network credentials" link on the login page. From there, you will be routed through NEOMED's network login process using the same login credentials that you use for logging into your email, Sharepoint, and other essential NEOMED networked resources. Please be patient with us as we get everything situated for your use and contact us with any questions at 330-325-6600 or e-mail library@neomed.edu for help.

Introduction

Good writing is essential for a master’s level student. In CEOMPH, we will be asking you to demonstrate different writing styles. However, a key is to always use good grammar, spelling and good sentence construction. In certain assignments, you will need to use proper reference formats. For those of you who need a review, here are some online sources. We keep a copy of grammar rules in the office so that we can help you improve your writing!

Reference Management Software

A suggestion for some of you--if you want to write proper scientific papers or if you would like to publish papers in journals--is to use software that manages your references. Please see the examples below to make a decision on which one to use. Note that there are other software platforms that do the same functions, but these are what faculty at NEOMED use:

  • Zotero - A free tool available for download as a desktop program that allows users to help store, cite, and share references! Zotero as a desktop product connects to both Safari and Chrome, and has a plug-in to Microsoft Word so you can Cite While You Write!

  • EndNote Basic - FREE web-based citation management tool with 20+ citation styles available. A fuller version with 5000+ styles is available to all NEOMED-affiliated patrons through our ISI Web of Knowledge subscription. Users with personal EndNote Accounts also have access to EndNote Web.

  • EndNote - A paid desktop program to collect, manage, and cite resources.

Want to learn more about how to use these tools? Explore our Citation Management Guide. It provides a general overview of different tools, along with step-by-step tutorials on how to use them.
