This study aims to determine the dominance of reference sources, types of references, the most cited authors, the availability of collections in the Stiper Institute of Agriculture (Instiper) library and the reference year used by students in preparing scientific papers. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach and bibliometric studies with citation analysis and literary life half-life. The object of analysis in this research is 166 scientific articles published in the journal Agromast published in 2018-2019. The results showed that: 1) types of reference sources or information materials used as references for students in writing scientific papers were dominated by types of references in the form of books (74.90%) and scientific articles (16.10%). 2) The half-life age of the literature cited in the journal Argomast as a whole from 2018 to 2019 is 8 years. 75.59% of the literature that is considered up-to-date or obsolete, while the literature that is considered current is 28.15%. Thus, the literature used as a reference in the Agromast journal 2018-2019 tends to use less up-to-date literature.
Building a website should be designed based on the experience of the user, as the user who uses the web service. The basics of user experience are needed in designing a library website. The better the user experience in using a library website, the better the quality of a library's web service will be. Building a library web system requires knowledge of User Experience (UX), so that user satisfaction and convenience can be met. Weboriented user experience can provide an impressive experience for users with features and content that is not confusing and easy to understand. With the steps in arranging UX into elements, we can better understand the overall task of building a website. According to Jesse James Garett, these elements are divided into five, namely: the strategy plane, the scope plane, the structure plane, the skeleton plane, and the surface plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
