There is a search facility in ResearchGate. See attached. Why not use this and bring up useful information such as?:

Dear Maheep Kumar,

We can get the specific heat capacity from DSC data using the following equation:

dQ/dT = Cp*beta*W

dQ/dt = heat flow; beta = heating rate; W=sample specimen mass

Step1: convert DSC values (mW/mg) into mW by dividing the mass of the sample to get heat flow

Step2: heat rate is step size to raise the temperature during the run

step3: specific heat capacity is obtained by rearranging the equation (1)

I hope this may help

The cited equation is valid for an ideal DSC. The heat power should be corrected with the called "base line" of the measuring cell of the used DSC device. It is the power requiered during heating with empty pans for one particular measuring cell and device. In the paper of TI you can find more information.
