The Many Ways Radius Captures Data

Unlike every other web-clipping application, Radius employs multiple paths to capturing on-line data contents, whether bibliographic or non-bibliographic. When different types of data are present on the clipped web page, a single click on the Radius browser extension will create multiple Radius entries to account for each one. Data captured by Radius can be searched by Popup Orbis and by Ibidem, at the user’s discretion.

Users can tag captured HTML web pages with keywords. All HTML and PDF contents can be searched in Popup Orbis by using simple queries or complex Boolean connectors. In sum, all data are subject to the user’s discriminating searches.

Radius captures

HTML page contents
Bibliographic reference data
PDF contents
ISBN-coded bibliographic data
Bibliographic and non-bibliographic data from the richest book publishers’ portal

Radius provides ample help and guidance throughout its capabilities.

Here are some typical scenarios users experience and the various Radius solutions for capturing different types of data.

Scenario	Solution	Results
Standard web pages, periodicals, consumer sites, general access	Click • Radius Web Extension OR • Ctrl/Cmd + A then Ctrl/Cmd + C	— Clipped HTML contents are instantly indexed and searchable in Popup Orbis under the designated textbase named “Radius Captured Web Pages” — The record is simultaneously created in Ibidem’s “Web Pages” database; user-entered keywords in Radius are searchable; the record’s contents include the original on-line URL and the Local Link, which is automatically created in the user’s computer
Academic journal article	Click citation link on page (Radius provides site-specific help) Click PDF Download link on page	— Clipped Citations (RIS format) are automatically created as records in the user’s Ibidem bibliographic database — Downloaded PDF contents in the user’s designated watched PDF folder will be linked to the Ibidem bibliographic record — Linked PDF contents are indexed in the user’s designated Orbis textbase and searchable in Popup Orbis
Zotero records	1. Select record(s) in Zotero 2. Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C (in Zotero)	— Record is created in the user’s Ibidem bibliographic database — Imported Zotero records automatically become native Ibidem bibliographic records, which means they are treated in the document processor with all the dynamic citations capabilities of originally entered Ibidem records
Book publishers’ data (Edelweiss Plus)	1. Select book(s) 2. Click • Radius Web Extension OR • Ctrl/Cmd + A then Ctrl/Cmd + C	— Clipped data goes into Ibidem’s “{Catalogs}” database, and from there, records can be copied to the user’s bibliographic database — Data will include publisher’s information on author(s), table of contents, preliminary reviews, etc., as available from Edelweiss
ISBN numbers in text on the page	Click • Radius Web Extension OR • Ctrl/Cmd + A then Ctrl/Cmd + C	— With a single click on the browser extension icon, Radius will create as many distinct records of different data types as are present on the page: HTML contents, and multiple ISBN bibliographic data — Every ISBN number is converted to a bibliographic record and appears in the user’s “{ISBN}” database, from where they can be easily copied to the user’s Ibidem bibliographic database
