3. AIM: to be able and capable searchers, on an advanced level HOW: mixing theory with practice

4. TODAYS AGENDA 10:15 Introduction Subject guide & different types of sources Article databases: search strategies, comparisons & methods Short break Article databases: folllowing citations Where do I start: methods Referencemanagement Extra resourses 12:00 13:15-15:00 : Workshop, in Uppland

18. Handbooks, reports, papers from conferences, theses, articles - scientific journals, articles - magazines, articles - news, oral source, webbpages… DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOURCES

19. Author’s consideration: Primary source or secondary…? How is content controlled…? Who is responsible…? DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOURCES

20. SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES Peer review vs. Review? Peer reviewed = refereed Article is evaluated by peers = same competence as author Articles are most often a primary source like a description of an experiment, a survey…but in the databases you also find: Review = in our context stands for literature review A secondary source as it is a summary of current knowledge on a certain topic collected from many primary sources

21. IS IT PEER REVIEWED? ULRICHSWEB Find link in your Subject guide ( Page: Articles )… or Databases A-Z

22. ARTICLE DATA BASES 1.Covering a specific set of journals, the best in the field of interest for the database. 2.Built for searching, you can combine words and operators in many ways. 3.Result is a reference. Linking to fulltext when it is possible to do so. 4.Many functions after the search: filtering, search history, save searches, set alerts, export references…

23. ARTICLE DATABASES AT UU Interdisciplinary- Web of Science core collection Interdiscipl. (Engineering)- Scopus Environment, toxicology- Environmental sciences and pollution management Earth science- Geobase Medicine - Pubmed Social sciences- Business Source Premier Education- Education research complete, ERIC Biology, biomedicin- BIOSIS (incl. Biol. Abstr)

24. Searches full text+/- Citation searching(no control) Some filters Advanced searching GOOGLE SCHOLAR? Find reports and scientific articles scholar.google.com /se/de/xx searches academic, authorities, NGOs pages

25. SUBJECT DATABASES Comparisons, let´s look a test search…

26. SEARCH STRATEGIES Two main lines of strategies: Search with keywords, combining them in different ways. Block-searching Start with something ”good” – follow citations Sustainable development gender OR women result OR outcome OR effect OR … AND

27. SEARCH CHARACTERS ” ” = Phrase searching = exactly as what is between Useful when: single numbers, letters or characters are of importance EX: “hepatite A” “C++” * (most common) or ? = Truncation = word stem searching EX: hydrol* retrieves hydrology hydrological hydrologist ( ) = Parentheses = this operation should be done first EX: next page…

28. BOOLEAN LOGIC AND OR NOT Nile AND (runoff OR precipitation)

29. BOOLEAN LOGIC LET`S TRY SEARCHING IN: BUSINESS SOURCE PREMIERE

30. QUESTIONS? SHORT BREAK 10 min Continue – using citations for more information – analyse tools Finding the best keywords – reference handling

31. FOLLOWING CITATIONS BUSINESS SOURCE PREMIERE WEB OF SCIENCE SCOPUS BIOSIS GOOGLE SCHOLAR

32. FOLLOWING CITATIONS COMPARISON: same article, ”strategic organizational… Business source premier: times cited:2 Web of science core…:6 Scopus:9 Google scholar:16 Biosis: don’t have article…

33. Where do I start?

34. 1.Concept map 2.Topic definition 3.Keywords

35. CONCEPT MAP Concept map adapted from: https://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/lls/students/research_resources/conceptmap.html For each issue, think of sub-concepts that relate to it and connect them to the appropriate issue.

36. CONCEPT MAP Concept map adapted from: https://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/lls/students/research_resources/conceptmap.html Think of sub-issues that will support each concept.

37. CONCEPT MAP Concept map adapted from: https://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/lls/students/research_resources/conceptmap.html Here, only this sub-set of the brainstorming concept map will be fully developed.

38. TOPIC DEFINITION STATEMENT Each element of the map will help you to: generate a list of research questions develop a topic definition statement.

39. Keywords, add different endings Synonymous Alternative terms Narrower or broader keywords Search strategy METHOD FOR SEARCH STRATEGY

40. HARVARD

41. REFERENCEMANAGEME NT? 1.Use the article database. Look for: email- function/Send/Export osv. 2.Universitylibrarys searchtool: find the article/ book = get the reference in the right column. (ub.uu.se) 3.Zotero / Endnote : Referencemanagement programs
