21. Planning your search
• Good to spend some time planning – it’ll help to refine your
question and save time in the long run
• Need to break your search down into concepts – this is how
databases need to be searched to get the best out of them
• Need to think about different synonyms/word endings
• This also means you’ll have a neater search strategy – easier to
spot mistakes, amend, and for others to follow

22. Free-Text searches
• Searches for exact word(s) you type in, can
miss papers if authors have used different
terminology.
• They don’t search the full-text of the article,
relies on good informative title/abstracts, not
always the case
• Search techniques to help compensate
• Can still miss things….

23. Subject heading searches
 There are people whose job it is to do this
 Retrieves articles based on what they are about
regardless of terminology used e.g. get back both
alcohol misuse AND abuse
You can also map your search concepts to “index”
terms that are used consistently by the database to
describe a topic.

24. Like newspapers
studies can also
make misleading
claims

25. 3 step process of appraisal
1. Identify the research method used
-Quantitative OR qualitative
2. Identify the research methodology & whether it is appropriate
-RCT or Systematic review?
3. Checklists to focus your appraisal
- CASP
