Another Source for Wildlife Disease Literature – The Wildlife Disease News Digest
The Wildlife Disease Information Node has been providing publication citations since 2007 through the Wildlife Disease News Digest. Recently, we created a new segment within the Digest, the Wildlife Disease Journal Digest, which once a week brings together a listing of newly released wildlife disease publications.Using the open-source citation reference manager, Connotea (http://www.connotea.org) all these articles are indexed and cataloged. Begin searching the Digest's archived publications collection here.
Some of the cool features that Connotea offers include:
- A growing collection of wildlife disease related publications. Currently there are over 1,200 articles within the Wildlife Disease Information Node’s collection.
- Ability to search the collection by keywords.
- Capacity for exporting the entire collection into a number of local reference managers (e.g. EndNote or BibTeX).
- RSS users can monitor our publications feed for recently added records to our collection. You may also limit your notification to specific keywords, according to your research interests. Subscribe to our publications feed here.
