4 Literature Search Techniques 2 Strategic Searching
The document discusses strategies for conducting an effective literature search. It covers searching academic literature to find relevant sources, avoiding duplicating previous work, and learning from other scholars' methods and approaches. Search techniques include keyword searches in digital libraries and databases, browsing relevant books and articles, and tracking citations between sources. The optimal search strategy depends on the topic's scope and available sources. Literature searches should become more focused and specialized over time to increase knowledge of the subject.
Ocn 1010 special assignments (fall 2014)
This document provides instructions for two assignments related to finding and analyzing peer-reviewed journal articles. The first assignment involves finding articles from the journals Science and Nature between 1997-present using specific library databases. Students are instructed on how to search for articles, check that they are peer-reviewed, and include required details in their write-up. The second assignment has students find additional articles cited in the references of their first article, and then use the Science Citation Index to analyze citations of their fourth article from 2007, breaking out the total by month. Contact information is provided for any questions.
1 Sources For Reading
The document discusses different types of knowledge and sources for research. It distinguishes between experiential knowledge based on one's own experiences and received knowledge from authoritative external sources. Both types can be flawed and should be critically evaluated. The document then provides guidance on finding and recording sources, including literature reviews, libraries, databases, journals, and keeping full citations in a systematic way.
Bibliometrics (1) JIFs and JCRs
Eugene Garfield first proposed the idea of journal impact factors in 1955 to measure the impact and influence of academic journals. In the 1960s, the Science Citation Index was developed to track citations between papers. Starting in 1975, the Journal Citation Reports used Web of Science data to annually rank journals within disciplines based on their impact factors, calculated as the citations in the current year to articles published in the previous two years divided by the total number of citable items published in those two years. While impact factors provide a metric for comparing journals within a field, they should not be used to compare journals across different disciplines due to variability in citation conventions between fields.
Bio 565 102011
This document provides an overview of literature research for a cell physiology course. It discusses determining information needs, types of literature like primary and secondary sources, and when information becomes literature. It also covers topics like peer review, finding seminal and current articles using databases and journal citation reports, and getting research help. The goal is to help students effectively search for and understand the different types of academic literature relevant to their course.
Ocn1010 (fall 2015)
This document provides instructions for completing two assignments involving research using library databases. It describes how to find a peer-reviewed research article from Science or Nature magazines and analyze its components and references. It then explains how to use the Web of Science database to determine the number of citations for the fourth reference in the first article during 2007, both total and by month. Instructions are included on using tools like Ulrichsweb, CAS Source Index, and Web of Science to efficiently complete the assignments.
Identifying primary and secondary sources in the sciences
This document defines and provides examples of primary and secondary sources in scientific research. Primary sources are original research conducted by scientists, such as lab notebooks and reports or scholarly research articles. Secondary sources analyze and review primary sources to create a response, including magazine articles, review articles, encyclopedias, and textbooks. When determining if a scholarly article is primary or secondary, original research articles present one study's methodology, results and conclusions, while review articles analyze multiple primary sources on a topic.
Guide to Scholarly Articles
Scholarly journals are academic publications written by specialists and scholars that contain original research results and scholarship. The articles are peer-reviewed by editorial boards or outside scholars before publication and are usually 5+ pages long, though most are between 7-16 pages. They use in-text citations and include a bibliography and/or footnotes in APA style. Scholarly journals are often required resources for course assignments.
Web of Science
Web of Science is an online scientific citation indexing service that allows users to search bibliographic databases for academic literature. It is owned by Clarivate Analytics and provides access to multiple databases that index thousands of scholarly journals, books, and conference proceedings. Some key points:
- Web of Science allows citation searching to find academic sources that have cited a particular work or have been cited by other works.
- It provides citation metrics like the h-index and citation reports that measure the impact and influence of authors, publications, and institutions.
- Advanced search features allow using Boolean operators, field tags, and other tools to construct complex queries across various databases within Web of Science.
Citation Metrics and Journal Rankings
This document discusses various metrics for measuring the impact and importance of academic journals, articles, and authors. It describes journal impact factors, h-indexes, and other bibliometric tools like Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, and Scopus that provide citation data. It notes that no single tool provides comprehensive coverage and that metrics can be influenced by many factors. The document cautions that impact metrics should not replace peer review and various limitations must be considered. It also introduces altmetrics that measure social media mentions as a new way to assess research impact.
Referencing styles & Bibliography
This document discusses referencing styles and provides guidance on citing sources. It defines referencing and citing, and distinguishes between references and bibliographies. Reasons for referencing include acknowledging others' work, allowing readers to find sources, avoiding plagiarism, and adding credibility. The document reviews several referencing styles including APA, Chicago, and MLA styles. It provides examples of how to reference different source types such as books, journal articles, and websites. Referencing tools that can help manage citations are also introduced.
E-LEARN: Determining Scope
An important step in successful research is identifying the preferred format (citations, abstracts, full text) of the search results. The information you need will determine which resources you will use to find it.
Bibliometrics: Now There Are Options
Presentation about new bibliometric tools using citation data from ISI, Scopus, and Google Scholar for University at Albany Librarians, 4/28/11
Gaining Insights Through Bibliometric Analysis
This document discusses bibliometric analysis and summarizes two studies that used bibliometric methods. The first study analyzed citations in social gerontology journals to understand reliance on different disciplines and best databases. It found social gerontology draws from both social sciences and medicine, and broad multidisciplinary databases are best. The second study compared Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar for citations to social work literature. It found value in using all three databases for the most accurate impact measurement. The document advocates for bibliometrics to provide insights but also cautions to interpret results carefully.
Locating your primary source using your secondary source
The document provides tips for locating a primary source using a secondary source for a biology assignment. It instructs students to find an article of interest from a news or magazine website, note keywords, publication titles, author names, and use those to search databases to find the original primary source article or a similar one on the topic. An example is provided where a BBC news article about a new hybrid grass leads to the primary source published in Scientific Reports about a grass that is part lollium perenne and festuca pratensis.

Literature review nov16 (1)
A literature review demonstrates how your work builds on existing research and provides context. It critically analyzes and synthesizes relevant past research to identify gaps and establish a theoretical foundation for your own research questions. The review should be structured with an introduction, headings, and conclusion that relate back to your research topic and highlight what your study will contribute. When writing, use language that conveys your perspective and assessment of the literature.
Literature Review CIE1001
This document outlines what a literature review is, its purpose, and the process for conducting one. It defines a literature review as an analysis and synthesis of previous scholarly work on a topic. The main purposes are to evaluate existing knowledge, identify gaps, and provide context for further research. Key differences from an essay are that a literature review focuses on summarizing others' work rather than making an original argument. The research process involves identifying sources, critically evaluating them, organizing findings, and synthesizing major themes and gaps.
IntroductionThe methodology of a study refers to the procedure.docx
Introduction
The methodology of a study refers to the procedures that are followed in order to collect and analyze data. Qualitative and quantitative are two broad categories of research methods (Erford, 2015, p. 17). Distinguishing between them is a theme that runs throughout this course. This unit discusses several of the methodological issues, or steps, to be addressed when planning a study. Some of these issues include:
What kind of data to collect (such as participants' perceptions).
How to best collect the data (for example, in-depth semi-structured interviews).
How to select participants.
What kinds of treatments or conditions they will experience.
How to analyze the data.
These decisions determine the research design. "Research designs are types of inquiry within qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches that provide specific direction for procedures in a research design" (Creswell, 2014, p. 12).
Validity, Credibility, and Reliability
Scholar-practitioners are concerned with the overall validity and trustworthiness of the research they read. In quantitative studies, internal validity refers to the degree to which one can infer cause and effect relationships between the independent and dependent variables, while external validity relates to the generalizability of findings. Both are important issues. In qualitative studies, the term validity is less frequently used when discussing the quality or trustworthiness of the research. Rather, the critical consumer of qualitative research is concerned with credibility, dependability, confirmability, verification, and transferability. This unit provides an introduction to methodological issues in counseling research. These issues will be revisited when you study specific research designs. As you develop your pre-proposal assignment, you will consider methodological issues as they apply to the research design you have chosen.
Reviewing the Literature
In this unit, you will continue locating current empirical articles, which will be used to write the literature review section of your pre-proposal assignment. An annotated bibliography is a tool for organizing the main ideas of the sources you have read. A detailed annotated bibliography can contribute greatly to the ease of writing a literature review. A well-written literature review is a coherent narrative that provides readers with the status of the knowledge base as it relates to your topic. This works best when literature reviews are organized by main ideas. The writer should not present a laundry list of article summaries with no connections being made among them. Instead, think of the literature review as telling the story of your topic, using the studies as support. There will probably be subheadings in the literature review section to indicate the main ideas for the reader. When you write your literature review, think of the main ideas that you want to get across and organize your writing around them.

Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th

There are four referencing styles accepted at UWS depending on the subject area. The most commonly used style is the UWS Harvard style, which provides examples of in-text citations and reference list entries for different sources like books, book chapters, journal articles, and online resources.
Taylor and Francis Journals Guide
Taylor & Francis Journals Database provides full-text access to journals and e-books in various subject areas including education, social sciences, and humanities. Users can access the database from on or off campus through the UWS Library website and must login with their UWS credentials. The database can be searched using keywords or phrases, and results can be refined using limiters such as subject, date range, and access restrictions. Help resources are available through the on-site help link.
Education Source (EBSCO) Guide
This document provides a brief guide to using the Education Source database on EBSCOhost, including:
- It indexes over 3,500 journals and provides full text for over 2,000 journals covering all levels of education.
- Users can access it on or off campus with their university login credentials.
- It defaults to an advanced search but basic keyword searches can be done. Operators like AND, OR, and NOT can refine searches.
- Search results show abstracts and metadata, and full text articles can be cited and saved. Limiters help filter results.
Breaking Down Your Research Question
Typing a sentence into a search engine or database will not search resources effectively. Think and plan an effective search strategy.
Referencing
Referencing the work of others is an important part of academic writing to avoid plagiarism. There are key principles to follow when referencing, including consistency in format, providing all necessary information for the reader to find the source, and understanding when and why to cite sources. The main referencing styles used at UWS are UWS Harvard, APA, and OSCOLA. Resources are available to help with referencing, such as the UWS Referencing Guide and Collection of Referencing Examples.
Information Sources - Find Them Right
Keyword searches find exact matches for books and articles, phrase searches find specific strings of words, and boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT can combine or exclude search terms. Wildcard characters like ? and * allow partial matches when spelling or parts of terms are unknown. Together, these tools help locate relevant information sources through precise and flexible searching.
