Libraries & Research

UW-Madison librarians provide support for all steps in your research process, from the planning stages through publication, archiving your output, and maximizing your scholarly impact. 

Library Resources for Research

 

Citation Managers

""Citation Managers such as  EndNote, EndNote Basic, Mendeley, or Zotero are software tools for managing your citations.  Citation Managers will help you:

  • Create and organize a personal research database
  • Download citations from online databases
  • Format bibliographies and citations in papers
  • Share your citations with others

Creating and Managing your ORCID ID

""  It is free and easy to sign up for an ORCID ID. An increasing number of publishers are requiring you to have an ORCID ID in order to submit your manuscript. Even if an ORCID ID is not required, there are many reasons to create one:

  • Reliably connects you with your contributions and affiliations
  • Saves you time – “enter once, re-use often”
  • Improves recognition for you and your research outputs
  • Alleviates mistaken identity

This site provides guidance for UW-Madison researchers in creating and maintaining an ORCID ID:

UW-Madison Research Data Services (RDS) Resources

""UW-Madison Research Data Services (RDS) can help you learn how to efficiently curate and share your data and code. RDS is an interdisciplinary organization committed to advancing research data management practice on the UW-Madison campus, with a focus on providing researchers with the tools and resources that support their efforts to store, analyze and share data.

Here are some selected links from the RDS website to get you started:
