Hi i am Dr. Sanjay Chavan, i am share my ppts on print source literature for newcomer researcher in chemistry who is seeking for research give idea about literature reviews and defiantly this power point presentation is very help full. before the research work learnt about the research methodology with respective subject is very essential so this is very effective information for the newly enter this field.

2. Introduction
• Traditionally Specking, information Sources
would include primarily books, periodicals and
newspapers.
• However, the number and forms of source are
continuously increasing.
• In addition, unpublished sources are becoming
increasingly important to scholars.
• Occasions will arise, especially in a special
library of University library, when information
would be required by a user without
precondition about the form of document.
• In such a situation, what matters is the finding
of information not the sources of information.

3. Source of Information
• An Information Source is a source of information
for somebody.
• i.e. anything that might informs a person about
something on provide knowledge to somebody.
• Information sources may be observations, people
speeches, documents, pictures, organizations etc.

5. Primary Sources of Information:-
• Primary sources of information are the first
published records of original research.
• Development of description of new application.
• New interpretation of an old theme or ideas.
• These constitute the latest available information.
Journals:
• A systematic record, usually written, that is kept by
a researcher for the purpose of observing and reflecting
on phenomena relevant to a particular research study.
• This method is used most to document spontaneously
occurring events or those connected with the day to day
experience of the researcher.

6. Secondary Sources of Information:-
• Secondary sources of information are those which are taken primary
sources of information.
• The original information having been casually changed and provide
to users.
• Information given in primary sources is changes to easier form.
• It is difficult to find information from primary sources directly.
• Therefore, one should the secondary sources is very important for
research.
1. Index Type:
(a) Index
(b) Bibliography
(c) Indexing periodicals
(d) Abstracting Periodicals
2. Survey Type:
(a) Review
(b) Treatise
(c)Monograph
3. Reference Type:
(a) Encyclopedia
(b) Dictionary
(c)Hand book, Manual
(d) Critical Tables

7. Tertiary Sources of Information:-
• This is the most problematic category of all.
• However, people not differentiate between secondary and tertiary
sources.
• Tertiary sources of information collected from primary and
secondary sources.
• For confirmation of tertiary sources of information researcher use of
primary and secondary sources of information.
Types:
1. Bibliography of Bibliographies
2. Directories and yearbooks
3. Guide to literature
4. List of research in progress

8. Journals Abbreviations:-
• Journal Abbreviations are common among journals in the sciences.
• Since words and abbreviations used in journal titles are from a
variety of languages.
• Journal abbreviations can sometimes be difficult to work with.
• The following resources provide help in identifying the full journal
title for a given abbreviation.
• For determining the correct journal abbreviation for a given journal
title.

9. Abstract:-
• An abstract is a short summary of a work.
• The abstract concisely reports the aims and outcomes of your
research.
• so that readers know exactly what your paper is about.
• Although the structure may vary slightly depending on your
discipline.
• Your abstract should describe the purpose of your work, the
methods you’ve used, and the conclusions you’ve drawn.
• Abstracts are usually around 100–300 words, but there’s often a
strict word limit
One common way to structure your abstract is
Introduction
Methods
Results
Discussion

10. Review:-
• It is a survey of previously published research on a topic.
• It should give an overview of current thinking on the topic.
• And, unlike an original research article, it will not present new
experimental results.
• Writing a review of literature is to provide a critical evaluation
of the data available from existing studies.

11. Text-book:-
• A text-book guides a teacher.
• It explains and clarifies how a topic should be
taught and how much.
• A text-book gives adequate suggestions,
illustrations, examples and techniques, etc.
• Thus becomes helpful to a teacher in guiding his
teaching.

12. Current Contents:-
• Current Contents is a current awareness database that
provides easy access to complete tables of contents,
bibliographic information, and abstracts from the most
recently published issues of leading scholarly journals.
• Cover-to-cover, expert indexing provides accurate access to
all the information available in journals, not just articles.
• Current Contents - Science Edition covers all the Science
editions of the Current Contents Search database in one
package accessible on the Ovid platform.
• These include: Life Sciences; Clinical Medicine; Agricultural,
Biological and Environmental Sciences; Engineering,
Technology, and Applied Sciences; and Physical, Chemical and
Earth Sciences.

13. Online Database
• Research databases are websites in which you can find
professional resources.
• These databases often include scholarly journals, articles,
research papers, excerpts from books and other essays.
• If you regularly conduct research for your job or in your
education program, it may be beneficial for you to learn more
about research databases.
• Reliable resources: This means that they are generally more
reliable than a source you may find with a regular search engine.
• Citations: The sources you can find on a research database often
includes citations for any information they used from other sources.
Databases often offer citations for various formats too, such as
MLA, APA and Chicago.
• Accessibility: This experience contrasts the experience using a
traditional search engine, as it takes more time and effort to sort
through the results to find one that is useful and reliable.

14. Subject Index
• Subject indexing is the process used for describing the subject
matter of documents.
• Subject indexing involves assigning terms to represent what the
document is about.
• Subject indexing is a crucial operation in the creation and
maintenance of index file, as retrieval of information depends to
a large extent on the quality of indexing.
• The process of subject indexing involves basically three steps.:
 The first step towards a successful index is familiarization.
 Subject analysis is the second step prior to the selection of
index-terms.
 The final step is to represent the selected concepts in the
language of indexing system.
• Examples of academic indexing services are Zentralblatt MATH,
Chemical Abstracts and PubMed. The index terms were mostly
assigned by experts but author keywords are also common.

15. Chemical Substance Index:-
• Chemical Indexing is a controlled indexing system intended to
provide an effective means for the retrieval of information not
normally searchable using key words alone.
• In this case the information referred to is the inorganic
chemicals and material systems discussed in the scientific and
technical papers covered by Inspec.
• The complete system with its role is e.g. Au-LiNbO3/int
• Substances or material subsystems with their roles e.g.
LiNbO3/int Au/int LiNbO3/ss Au/el
• Chemical groups with their roles e.g. NbO3/int NbO3/ss
• Chemical elements with numbers (integers and decimals only)
and their roles, e.g. O3/int O3/ss
• Chemical elements with their roles, e.g. Au/int Li/int Nb/int
O/int

16. Author Index
• The index that has entries in alphabetical order under the names of the
authors is called the book index.
• It is an index that lists the works of a variety of writers in one index.
• An author index provides access through authors' names to a text.
• Abbott, N Joan, ‘Psychology and neuroscience of indexing: what goes on
in the mind of the indexer?,’ 25(3).154–60
• ‘Indexing of a computerized bibliography for London’s archaeology,’
14(4).235–40
• ‘Putting the horse before the cart: rapid access to data banks by the
“SIGNPOSTS” method,’ 18(1).3–8
• ‘Newspaper archives: indexing Cumhuriyet,’ 29(4).171–79
• Protecting culture and civilization: indexing world heritage,’ 35(2).80–5
• A women’s thesaurus in Turkey: addressing the challenge,’ 25(3).176–81
• Allen, Eileen, ‘Creating harmony: the challenges of indexing books on
music,’ 37(1).3–12

17. Formula Index:-
• The INDEX function returns a value or the reference to a
value from within a table or range.
• There are two ways to use the INDEX function:
• If you want to return the value of a specified cell or array
of cells, see Array form.
• The array format is used when we wish to return the
value of a specified cell or array of cells.
