How can one keep track of all the scientific literature that is being published? The volume of research output has exploded, so a researcher may find it difficult to remain updated and ensure that his/her research does not turn out to be a duplication of someone’s previous work. To keep abreast of new publications and search for previous publications, you should have a good search strategy. This SlideShare provides quick and useful tips to become competent in knowing how to look through citations, formulate keywords, use reference managers, identify relevant journals, and follow alerts.

This paper by Public Religion Research Institute's Dr. Robert P. Jones and Daniel Cox explores two neglected aspects of religion--spirituality as a distinct component and progressive religiosity--and proposes new measurement strategies for examining them. We have two main findings: 1) that spirituality can indeed be isolated as a dimension of religiosity independent of belief and practice; and 2) that identifying a structuralist vs. individualist approach to religious ethics is a promising approach for distinguishing progressive religiosity and avoiding conservative measurement bias inherent in such common measures as religious service attendance.
