QUOSA Information management software available for postgraduate students and staff

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

QUOSA helps you to quickly retrieve full text articles (PDFs or HTML) and organize them in your QUOSA library. Every word in the full text is indexed so you can quickly search the library of PDFs or other files. Search terms are highlighted for fast perusal. A “Document Summary” pane allows you to go directly to passages of interest in the full text.

QUOSA is integrated with Referencing Software. With one click put the references in EndNote or RefWorks which then links back to the PDF or file in QUOSA.

QUOSA works with PubMed, Web of Knowledge databases, Scopus and Ovid databases.

This is a pilot study until end 2008.

For more information please see:
