| description | Background:
Reference management software (RMS) enable researchers to organize and manage large number of references that are typically identified during the publication of research articles.
Aims and Objectives:
The purpose of our study was to determine the extent to which faculties from allopathy, homeopathy, and Ayurveda use RMS for their academic pursuits and to identify which methods are used most frequently.
Methods:
The survey was circulated among the faculties of three different disciplines of the health-care system to collect respondent demographic details and questionnaire responses. Data distribution and variable type were used to perform descriptive analysis.
Results:
The data from 114/150 respondents were analyzed. Of the 114 faculties who responded to our survey, 72 (63%) reported using RMS to publish their articles. Knowledge of how to use RMS software is common in allopathic faculties (40%), followed by homeopathy (14%) and Ayurveda (9%). Zotero (41%) is the most popular RMS software among users, followed by Mendeley (31%) and Endnote (12%).
Conclusion:
Despite being underreported, RMS software is frequently used for the needs of authors from various disciplines in the health-care system. |
