Auto-Assigning Publication Properties in Research Logix

Objective

To provide a clear and concise procedure for using the auto-assign feature in ResearchLogic for efficiently assigning properties to new publications, ensuring accuracy in cancer relevance, peer review status, and external collaborations.

Key Steps

1. Access Administrative Settings

   • Log into the ResearchLogic platform.

   • Navigate to Administrative Settings.

2. Manage Term Dictionaries

   • Click on Manage Term Dictionaries.

   • Locate and select the Cancer Terms Dictionary.

   • Review or update the dictionary as needed to ensure it contains relevant cancer terms.

3. Review Publication Affiliations

   • Go to the Assignments section using the provided ResearchLogic link.

   • Check the list of affiliations for the specific publication.

   • Navigate to Administrative Settings and select Manage Affiliations.

   • Review the list of possible institution names to ensure all relevant affiliations are included.

4. Auto-Assign Values

   • In the Assignments section, identify the publication types.

   • If a publication is categorized as a journal article, it will automatically assign the peer review status as "yes."

   • Select the publications you want to update.

   • Click on the Auto Assign button to apply the settings.

5. Review Auto-Assigned Values

   • After auto-assigning, check the columns for:

     • Identified Cancer Terms

     • Peer Reviewed

     • Identified External Collaboration

   • Conduct a quick review of the auto-assigned values.

6. Make Adjustments if Necessary

   • If any of the auto-assigned values are incorrect or need modification, make the necessary changes manually.

Cautionary Notes

• Ensure that the Cancer Terms Dictionary is up-to-date before using the auto-assign feature to avoid missing critical terms.

• Double-check the affiliations to prevent incorrect external collaborations from being assigned.

• Review the auto-assigned values carefully, as incorrect assignments can lead to misreporting in CCSG documentation.

Tips for Efficiency

• Regularly update the Cancer Terms Dictionary and Affiliations list to minimize the need for manual adjustments.

• Familiarize yourself with common cancer terms and publication types to quickly identify any discrepancies during the review process.

• Use the auto-assign feature in batches to save time, but ensure to review each batch thoroughly to maintain accuracy.
