The Central Library at SiliconTech, the engineering institute of Silicon University, collaborated with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore to organize an on-campus training program for faculty members, research scholars, and students on 31 July 2024.
The IEEE Xplore Digital Library, including the All Society Periodicals Package (ASPP) and Proceedings of the IEEE Package (POP), offers researchers comprehensive access to a vast collection of journals, conferences, and other publications, making it an essential tool for accelerating research and problem-solving.
The objective of the program was to provide various search functionalities and time-saving tools, allowing researchers to focus on relevant articles and enhance productivity. Additionally, Code Ocean was introduced as a platform for reproducibility in research, enabling seamless sharing, running, and reproduction of computational experiments. The importance of reproducibility in research was emphasized, with Code Ocean serving as a critical resource for achieving this. The program also unveiled time-saving features for research which helps to focus only on relevant articles.
The training was conducted by Mr Ranbir Singh Sedhey, Client Service Manager at IEEE, and Mr. Raj Kumar Mohapatra, Training Manager at IEEE. In his presentation, Mr. Ranbir Singh Sedhey provided a detailed overview of the IEEE Xplore platform, emphasizing the new features and enhancements that have been integrated into the system.
Furthermore, the latest updates on new journals and conferences added in 2023 and those upcoming in 2024 were provided, offering insights into new opportunities for publication and networking. Lastly, the platform’s ability to accelerate research and decision-making through advanced search functionalities and other features was underscored, ensuring that researchers can stay at the forefront of technology and discover potential collaborators within their fields.
A total of fifty two participants attended the training program, which included faculty members, technical assistants, and research scholars. The session was highly engaging and interactive, making the program a resounding success.
