Academic Literature databases Contain information about the contents of a range of publications Often subject specific. Perform sophisticated searches with strong search functions Library catalogue and e-journal pages tell you what journals we have, eg Journal of investigative psychology and offender profiling But, not who has published what in those journals, eg Myklebust & Bjorklund’s 2009 article in issue 6(2), The child verbal competence effect in court: A comparative study of field investigative interviews of children in child sexual abuse cases Academic literature/Abstracting and indexing/Bibliographic databases: N.B. 1) provide references/citations for material and often abstracts or summaries as well but only link out to full-text 2) are not limited to what the library has

Searcher – the default tab Library catalogue plus databases etc. Good for finding academic literature for essays and reports. Default limit set to what you can read now.

Subject Databases for Reviewing the Literature You will need at some stage to find out what has already been published in your research field: PsycINFO –references to articles from thousands of psychology and related journals, conference proceedings, etc. Cochrane Library - full-text of Cochrane systematic reviews and citations to other review articles. MEDLINE –National Library of Medicine’s database of articles from thousands of medicine and related journals and other academic literature. EMBASE - Clinical medicine but more European journal coverage. Sociological databases: ASSIA, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts

Try any links which seem as if they will give you full-text. Treat like a normal reference and use the library catalogue Because we may have what you want: online from a different site In print Reading the Full-text Inter-Library Loan (I.L.L.) for material we don’t have at all

Where to find (out about) databases A-Z list and lists by subject

Knowing what you want to read Identify the major subjects and think of associated words/phrases (“search terms”) including: synonyms and alternative spellings.

Limits and Inclusion Criteria Decide the sort of evidence or methodology most appropriate to your investigation and make them part of your inclusion & exclusion criteria, ie what dictates that a paper/literature is used in your review or is not. Think about what a paper covers and related it to what you want to read about, eg: PICOS model Patient Population or Problem Intervention Comparison Outcome Study design These can be incorporated into search strategy and inclusion criteria. Critical Appraisal “Crib Sheets” are available to help you assess different types of papers, eg

Information Capture Reference management software eg EndNote onlineEndNote online Export references Can amend records in reference management software with additional information, eg where/how got reference, Cite while you write For your methodology Record your search strategy(ies) for the databases you’ve used You may need to record when you used the databases too Outline your inclusion/exclusion criteria.
