This document provides guidance on finding career resources and research articles. It discusses evaluating the trustworthiness of websites, searching the library catalog and databases for career books and primary research. Key evaluation criteria for websites include examining the domain and author's credentials. Peer review is described as important for vetting the methodology and contribution of research articles. The Library of Congress classification system and subject-specific databases are presented as resources for locating materials. Students are directed to a library guide created for this specific class.

CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH IN CARDIOLOGYAnnex Publishers
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Research in Cardiology (JCERC) is an international open access, scholarly peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality articles in all areas of cardiology related fields, especially current research, new concepts, novel methods, new therapeutic agents, and approaches for early detection and prevention of cardiac disorders and reporting new methods on basic and advanced clinical aspects of cardiology research.

Journals that publish work without proper peer review and which charge scholars sometimes huge fees to submit should not be allowed to share space with legitimate journals and publishers, whether open access or not. These journals and publishers cheapen intellectual work by misleading scholars, preying particularly early career researchers trying to gain an edge. The credibility of scholars duped into publishing in these journals can be seriously damaged by doing so. It is important that as a scholarly community we help to protect each other from being taken advantage of in this way.
There is a growing concern that the evaluation of research based on citations and publishing in high-impact journals cannot be the only factor that indicates the real value or impact of scholarship.
The authors do not just show how to measure the research impact using various (traditional and alternative) metrics but how to use these metrics to promote the scholarship, justify the tenure, or go through the hiring process.

Scholarly Research: Application of Nursing Leadership Theory ResearchTherese Tisseverasinghe
This is an introductory research presentation provided by Seneca College Librarian Therese Tisseverasinghe to a graduate certificate course on Nursing Leadership. Topics include: understanding nursing knowledge, different types of information sources, how to select an appropriate source for the research, how to breakdown the research assignment, how to map research need to research source, search engine basics, how to select the right search tool, how to select the right keywords, synonyms, building a search statement using synonyms and Boolean search operators, how to filter search results in PRIMO Library Search, how to identify relevant articles, how to use relevant articles to discover related articles, how to read and utilize components of peer-reviewed scholarly articles for research assignment, understanding subject database and specific platforms to search across relevant databases, and gaining a holistic understanding of the value and complexities of academic research. Students are also given a general overview of APA citation and consequences of plagiarizing.
A systematic review uses systematic and explicit methods to identify, select, critically appraise, and extract and analyze data from relevant research [Higgins & Green 2011].

What is a research article?
Before we talk about how to find research articles, we have to
agree on what we're looking for. We're looking for scientific
truth. Where do you get it? From a Trustworthy Authority? Give
me a break! (see rant).
Scientific truth resides in research articles. A research article is
one that provides observations or the observed results of
experiments (not merely conclusions) and a description of how
the experiments were performed, in sufficient detail that
someone else might replicate them. You will recognize them by
the detail paid to the methods on which the results were based.
A news report of a scientific finding is not a research article. It
doesn't describe how to do the experiment. A review article is
not a research article. It combines lessons learned from multiple
research articles but, again, does not describe how to do the
experiments it covers.
Strategies to find research articles
If you know the exact title of the article you're looking for, then:
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/why-find-research-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/how-to-read-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/trustworthy-authority.html
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/lsl/help/modules/review.html
• Your favorite search engine may be the fastest way to reach
the article (if you have its exact title). However, if you're
doing this from off-campus, the site you reach will not
recognize your IP address and not realize that you are a
member of the VCU community and thus deserving of the
full text of articles in journals to which VCU subscribes.
•
• VCU library general search facility is an excellent way of
getting most articles. If you are accessing it from off
campus, you'll be prompted for your eID and password if
needed. But no database is perfect, and you may sometimes
need to look elsewhere.
If you don't know the exact title, then:
• Using a search engines is generally a poor strategy -- too
low of a signal-to-noise ratio
•
• Google Scholar is much better but I haven't used it enough
to know how its database compares to others. Note that
Google Scholar allows advanced searches by clicking the
down arrow in the search box.
•
• For greater flexibility, try dedicated services, such as
PubMed and Web of Sciences.
There are two major strategies to use these indexes to find
research articles (plus one general fallback strategy):
• Keyword search: Looks for articles whose titles, abstracts,
or author lists contain a set of words that you supply. Used
by all the sites. This is what you're already used to.

12. PRIMARY RESEARCH ARTICLES Present the findings/results of a research study The authors of the article are the persons who conducted the research The article will include: why, how, what Typically published in scholarly journals An example
13. PEER REVIEW A process done by many scholarly journals Expert reviewers (peers) evaluate the article’s methodology, merit, and overall unique contribution to research in a specific discipline PRIOR to publication In the health sciences, peer review is almost universal when it comes to primary research published in the journal literature Why is this important?
