Using the IEEE Xplore File Cabinet
Some institutional subscriptions use a file cabinet feature
This functionality allows users to download papers from a number of IEEE Xplore
collections and store them in an electronic file cabinet, which is shared throughout the institution.
File cabinet products are used by small- to mid-sized organizations who do not need unlimited access to IEEE Xplore content.
If you are using a file cabinet product, like IEEE Enterprise, your institution has purchased a package of downloads on IEEE Xplore.
Once you've downloaded a paper, it is now available to other researchers at your organization in the file cabinet.
To begin, go to IEEE Xplore and start with a basic or advanced search. I want to find top-cited papers on smart city framework,
so, after entering my terms, I will sort by "Most Cited By Papers."
When I look at the top results, I see that the second result has already been added to my institutional file cabinet.
The icon to the right of the article information shows that it is available for unlimited downloading by anyone at my organization.
I can open this document in either PDF or HTML formats.
The first result will need to be added to my file cabinet to be viewed. Click on "Add to File Cabinet" or the HTML or PDF
links, and a message will show how many downloads are left in my subscription.
Select "Continue" to add this document to the file cabinet and view. The full text will immediately open.
Once someone has downloaded a paper into the File Cabinet, it is now available throughout your organization for unlimited viewing.
To see the number of documents in your File Cabinet and the number of downloads
remaining, click on "Show Usage" at the top of the page - in the "Access provided by" module.
If you'd like to browse all the documents in your file cabinet, click on "File Cabinet."
You can sort the File Cabinet by a variety of options, including "Download Date," "Newest First," or "Most Cited."
To find specific papers, use the "Search within results" option in the light blue navigation bar or
use the facets along the left-hand side, such as "Author" or "Publication Topic."
For example, if I was looking for articles in the File Cabinet from
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery,
I would type in "power delivery" in the Publication Title facet, select "IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery" and click
"Apply." I now see just those 5 articles from that specific journal.
"Download Date" allows you to see each month's file cabinet activity.
There is a limit to the number of downloads that can be kept in the file cabinet. Contact your
Administrator if you're interested in unlimited access products
which do not track the number of downloads.
Please view the other tutorials in the series if you're interested in other search tips or alerting features.
