## #  Preparing Publications for Data Entry ### ##  Mendeley Mendeley provides a central location for the collection, annotation, and tracking of the journal articles that we use. Features of Mendeley that are useful to us include:  

week maintaining it - enough to keep up with the work that the  undergraduates are doing.  ### Adding a referenceto Mendeley  - If the DOI number is available (most articles since 2000)  1. Select project folder 

from, for, to, etc...), and the conjunctions (for, and, nor,  but, or, yet, so) with less than three letters.  ### Annotating a Referencein Mendeley  Each week, please identify and prepare papers that you would like to be  entered next by completing the following steps:  

- Esoteric information that other scientists or technicians might not catch and that is not otherwise recorded in the database  - Any data that may be useful at a later date but that can be skipped for now.  #### **Comment or Highlight** the following information * Sample size  * Covariates (see [Table 7](#Table 7)) 

highlighted sections of the paper.    ##Google Spreadsheets:  Recording extracted data and transformations Google Spreadsheets are used to keep a record of any data that is not  entered directly from the original publication. Please share all spreadsheets with the user [email protected] in addition to any collaborators.  * Any raw data that is not directly entered into the database but that  is used to derive data or stats using equations in [Table 1](#Table 1) and [Table 5](#Table 5). 

* Any calculations that were made. These calculations should be  included in the cells.  Each project has a Google document spreadsheet with the title ’’project\_data’’. "project\_data".  In this spreadsheet, each reference should have a separate worksheet labeled with the citation key (`authorYYYabc`  format). Do not enter data into excel first as this is prone to errors and  information such as equations may be lost when uploading or
