Practical # 01
How to create a Google (Gmail) account?

Principle:
Gmail is a web-based email account provider owned by Google. There are also other web-
based email account provide like Outlook, Yahoo, Baidu etc.

Procedure:

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a Gmail account


Step 1: Open up your internet browser and go to the Google home page:
http:// www.google.com.pk

Step 2: Click on Gmail at the top right corner of the page.

Step 3: You’ll now be in the ‘Sign in’ section. As you


don’t have a Google account yet, you need to create one.
Click Create an account.

Step 4: To set up your new account, Google needs some


information about you – first, your first and last name.
Then ‘choose your username’ is the unique email address
that you wish to use, which will be placed before
‘@gmail.com’. Because it needs to be unique, Google
may have to check the availability of any name that you
decide on to make sure that no one already has it. Type an
email name into the ‘choose your username’ box and then
Figure 1.1: Choose your username
fill out the rest of your information. You will need to ensure
that the ‘I agree to the Google terms of service and Privacy
Policy’ is ticked. Then click next step.

Step 5: If the email name that you requested in is not


available, you’ll get a message saying that somebody
already has that username and offering you some
alternatives. You can decide to accept one of the
alternatives or type in another name and check its
availability once more. You will have to complete some of
the other boxes again. You may have to do this a few
times. Once you finalize your email address, it’s a good
idea to make a note of it so that you can refer to it until you Figure 2.2: Username already taken,
choose another one
remember it.

Figure 2.3: Find the signature section

Page | 9
Computer and Its Application in Pharmacy - Manual

Type your signature: You can type anything you'd like into the signature field, and use the
text formatting tools to give your signature a custom look. Signatures commonly include your
name, place of employment and title, and your contact information.
You can change the font, color, weight, and more using the text formatting tools. A signature
should be easy to read and professional. A distracting signature will make you look less
professional to the recipient.

Introduction to Microsoft Excel
Theory:
 Excel is a computer program used to create electronic spreadsheets.
 Within Excel, users can organize data, create charts, and perform calculations.
 Excel is a convenient program because it allows the user to create large spreadsheets,
reference information from other spreadsheets, and it allows for better storage and
modification of information.
 Excel operates like other Microsoft (MS) Office programs and has many of the same
functions and shortcuts of other MS programs.

Overview of the Excel Screen:


 Microsoft Excel consists of workbooks.
Within each workbook, there is an infinite
number of worksheets.
 Each worksheet contains columns and rows.
 Where a column and a row intersect is called
the cell. For example, cell B6 is located where
column B and row 6 meet. You enter your data
into the cells on the worksheet.
 The tabs at the bottom of the screen represent
different worksheets within a workbook. You
can use the scrolling buttons on the left to bring
other worksheets into view.
 The Name Box indicates what cell you are in.
Figure 7.1: Overview of Excel Screen
This cell is called the “active cell.” This cell is
highlighted by a black box.
 The “=” is used to edit your formula on your selected cell.

Page | 31
Computer and Its Application in Pharmacy - Manual
 The Formula Bar indicates the contents
of the cell selected. If you have created a
formula, then the formula will appear in
this space.

Figure 7.2: Formula Bar

Format Menu:
 You can change the colors, borders, sizes,
alignment, and font of a certain cell by
going to the “Cell” option in the Format
Menu.

Figure 7.3: Format Menu

Entering Formulas:
● When entering numerical data, you can
command Excel to do any mathematical
function.
● Start each formula with an equal sign (=).
To enter the same formulas for a range of
cells, use the colon sign “:”
Figure 7.4: Entering Formulas

Page | 32

 ADDITION FORMULAS
To add cells together use the “+” sign.
 SUBTRACTION FORMULAS
To subtract cells, use the “-” sign.
 DIVISION FORMULAS
To divide cells, use the “/” sign.
 MULTIPLICATION FORMULAS
To multiply cells, use the “*” sign.

How to Add Charts and Graphs in Microsoft Excel
Theory:
• Charts, or graphs, provide visual representations of the workbook data.

• A chart may be embedded in an existing worksheet, or can be created on a separate


chart sheet, with its own tab in the workbook.

Create a chart using the Chart Wizard:


• To create a chart with the Chart Wizard:
– Select the data you want to chart,
which will be your data source
– Click the Chart Wizard button on the
standard toolbar
– In the first step of the chart wizard,
select the chart type and sub-type
– In the second step of the Chart
Wizard, make any additions or
modifications to the chart's data
source
Figure 8.1: Create a chart using the chart
– In the third step, make any wizard

modifications to the chart's appearance


– In the fourth and final step, specify the location for the chart, then click the
OK button
Choosing a data series:
• You can alter the data source during step 2 of the Chart Wizard and also choose
whether to organize the data source by rows or by columns.
• The data source is organized into a collection of data series.
– A data series consists of data values, which are plotted on the chart's vertical,
or Y-axis
– The data series’ category values, or X values, are on the horizontal axis, called
the X-axis

Page | 35
Computer and Its Application in Pharmacy - Manual
• A chart can have several data series all plotted against a common set of category
values.

How to implement Post HOC Test on data
Theory:
• When we get a significant F test result in an ANOVA test for a main effect of a factor
with more than two levels, this tells us we can reject Ho, i.e. the samples are not all from
populations with the same mean.

• We can use post hoc tests to tell us which groups differ from the rest.

• There are a number of tests which can be used. SPSS has them in the ONEWAY and
General Linear Model procedures

• SPSS does post hoc tests on repeated measures factors, within the Options menu

Choice of post-hoc test:

about equality of variance, group sizes etc.
• The simplest is the Bonferroni procedure

Introduction to Endnote
Theory:
Endnote is a program that maintains references and creates your bibliography.

 References just need to be entered once


 References can be imported from search engine to eliminate typographical errors
 References are stored in a data base and can be sorted on any of the features of the
database, e.g. year, author, title.
 Journals have been pre-formatted, so once the citation is made in the text, all the
formatting is done for you and can be changed easily for re-submitted to another
journal.
 Endnote works with Word or Outlook.
 This tutorial is for the PC version of Endnote. The Mac version, would be very similar,
but not identical.

Installing Endnote:
• For new versions
of Endnote (8.0 or
greater) the
installation process
should be as simple
as running the
executable file on
CD and entering in
the correct code.
• Earlier versions
might require file Figure 11.1: How to add Endnote Toolbar in MS. Word

re-location.
After installing Endnote, any version, go to Word and check the toolbars to make sure the
Endnote tool bar is available. If so add it to your toolbars

1. The later versions of Endnote just have a shortcut to the C:/Program
Files/Endnote X directory. I don’t know if this works in the earlier versions.

• You will be prompted to save the new database. You can browse, just like saving any
other PC file, to save the file where you want.
• You can also title the database anything you want.
• Endnote files will have the Endnote icon to denote them

How to Import References from PubMed through Endnote?

Theory:

REFERENCE is the detailed description of the document from which you have obtained the
information.

Honest and professional citation of references provides part of the framework for sound written
research:

 because you must acknowledge the sources you have used to establish your arguments
and criticisms;
 the references enable other people to identify and trace the sources you have used for
your ideas;
 And it helps avoid charges of plagiarism because it makes clear when you are using
someone else's ideas and words.

Uploading References from PubMed


 The easiest search engine to upload reference from is PubMed.

• First you want to connect to the PubMed resource. After initially connecting, it will
be short-catted.

Figure 12.2: Connect to PubMed Resource

• Scroll down to PubMed (NLM) and hit connect (NLM=National Library of Medicine)

• A search engine should come up.

Figure 12.3: Select the Version

 A conformation box will appear. At this point you can cancel if you have too many
references to search through, and you will be allowed to add more search criteria

How to Import References from Google Scholar through
Endnote?

Theory:
Importing references from databases:

The process of importing will vary from database to database. Some have a built-in export option
while others may require you to save the references into a text file and then import it into Endnote
later. Below we have included instructions for some key databases, but please ask if you need help
importing from another source.

Importing references into Endnote from Google Scholar:

Google Scholar allows you to download bibliographic details into an Endnote library. In order
to do this, click the small cog icon to open the settings, make sure that you have selected 'Show
links to import citations' in the Bibliography manager setting, & also choose Endnote from the
drop-down menu. Click Save to activate the settings.

Alongside each Scholar result you will now see a link to 'Import into Endnote'. Click this link
and, when prompted, choose which Endnote library you want to use and click "Open".

The references are automatically sent to this library and added to the imported folder.

Searching internet sources from within Endnote
 You can import references from some internet sources directly from within Endnote -
e.g. PubMed, Web of Science & some library catalogues.
 First, choose an internet source from the Online Search area, in the left-hand panel.
 Enter your search details & click Search
 Note: your searching will need to conform to the 'rules' of the source you are
searching - e.g. for PubMed do not use a comma between the author's surname and
the initials.
 The references you retrieve are added to your library, and can also be viewed in the
Online Search area in the left-hand panel.
 Click more... in the Online Search area to view a full list of the internet sources
available. Note: that not all of the sources will be available to you as some may
require a subscription. You can delete sources from the Online Search area so that you
only see the sources you use regularly. Note: the Web of Science Online Search
option will not work properly if you are working outside the UCL network & you
should use the instructions above instead.
Importing from a PDF file
 From version X4 onwards it is possible to create references from existing PDFs that
you may have stored on your computer. To do this:
 Choose Import from the File menu
 Click Choose to locate the PDF file you have stored on your computer
 Set the Import Option to PDF and click Import.
 Note that the data quality will vary when using this method; some PDF files do not
work as well as others and it is a good idea to check the quality of the imported record
carefully.
Cite While You Write
 When the Endnote software is installed into a computer, a toolbar is automatically
added to Word. This allows you to search your Endnote library directly from your
Word document & to insert citations as you are writing. To do this, make sure that
your Endnote database is open.

Page | 56
Computer and Its Application in Pharmacy - Manual

Figure 13.2: Cite while you write

 In your Word document, begin to type a document and, when you reach a point where
you want to cite a particular article, click the Insert Citation button on the Endnote
toolbar (the first icon on the left)
 A search box appears where you can search for an author or keyword to find the
reference you want to cite - NB: the search is referring to the contents of your
Endnote library, so it is important that the reference is already contained within that
library.
 When you have identified the reference you want, click the Insert button to insert a
'place-holder' in the appropriate place within your Word document.
 This causes two pieces of formatting to be generated
1. The in-text citation is added & formatted

2 .The citations are added to the reference list at the bottom of your document.

 If you wish to add a batch of references together in the same place within your Word
document, first mark the items you want within your Endnote library and then return
to your Word document & choose Insert Selected Citations from the toolbar.
 As you enter citations, a bibliography/reference list is automatically generated at the
bottom of the document. You can change the formatting by selecting a different Style
from the Endnote toolbar. The style you choose will determine the format of the in-
text citations, as well as the format of the bibliography at the end of the document.
