Bibliography/Scientific Information Project

Scientific information: The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the search and management of scientific information. In this context, recent tools for bibliographic research will be explained and used during courses/DD (Electronic documentation: Scifinder / Isis / Belstein). Training in the functionalities of the Zotero tool and in the use of the electronic laboratory notebook will also be provided. The writing and use of scientific publications will be addressed.

Bibliographic project: The tools of scientific information research will be applied to a concrete case. The pedagogical team will propose a bibliographic subject to the student in relation with the chosen orientation. This bibliographic subject may, if necessary, be defined in agreement with the host organization where the internship will be carried out.

For this personal project, the student will have access to all the bibliographic sources of the university or the company that hosts him/her. The bibliographic work may be combined with the English teaching unit in order to prepare an oral presentation at an international conference.
