There are now two ways to explore NEON publications - through our curated Zotero library, and through NEON's Dimensions page!

Dimensions & Altmetrics

NEON is proud to offer our own search page powered by Dimensions and Altmetrics. Here, you can discover NEON products (publications, grant, and policy documents) and easily explore any metrics associated with those papers. This new automated page adds a new, different level of finding papers that involve NEON data, samples, authors, and much more.

Zotero

Every month, publications that use NEON data and resources are identified through a comprehensive database search. These publications are imported into a public Zotero library, where they are tagged to make them easy to query. Below, you will find instructions for finding publications of interest. If you know of a publication not included in the list, please notify us.

To access the library and search publications of interest:

Visit the NEON publications group on Zotero. The most recently added publications will appear on a table on the home page.
To view the full library, click on “Group Library.” Links can be found at the top and bottom of the recently added items table.
In the top right of the page, you will see a search icon with the options to search by title, creator, year or title, creator, year + full-text content.
