a small note...

In the article from the American Chemical Society webpage, it is mentioned that Helen Blackwell published 6 papers back in 1999, while still in school. I will be trying to find out more information about these papers in order to compare her references used as a student versus as a professional.

  1. Have you tried using the Clarion University databases for journal articles? I know I found quite a few interesting articles there.

  2. Also, I just researched some of my scientist's work from when he was a student as well. I'll try to do a post on that. I think it really fills out the picture more when you see what they were studying or writing on when they were our age.

  3. I've noticed that the resources my scientist uses when composing her own papers are far more available than the resources she is published in. Reminds me of a student doing work- using the information that is most readily available.
    I realized all of this through simply 'googling' the titles and checking on access without signing on to Clarion's library pages. Perhaps the same is true for your scientist.

  4. Have you tried the American Chemical Society Publications database that's available through Clarion University's libraries to look for your scientist's publications? I haven't had a chance to try it out but I know it's there (just looked it up, seems to have some amount of full-text too).
