Don’t forget … We are inside a set of processes

Why information retrieval / extended literature search?
For:➔ describe the state of the art on a subject➔ do a research work / a review / a thesis / an application for a research
fund➔ ...and write
the basic principle is:➔ One question➔ One search➔ One answer
![Page 4: How to search - infolit.be](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042802/626825babe9d1548b929fbf5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Extended literature search = a step by step approach, a methodological approach

➔ Command language:✔ Boolean operators✔ Truncation✔ Proximity operators and exact expressions (use of quotes)✔ Parentheses✔ Links (see also, index...)
➔ description language: ✔ Key-words (=free language, any words from a dictionary ... think
synonyms !)✔ Descriptors (controlled language from thesauri)
Extended literature search = languages

What is the best way to ask a question?
let's start with an example
![Page 8: How to search - infolit.be](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042802/626825babe9d1548b929fbf5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What is the best way to ask a question?
why there is no more production of biofuel from blue-green algae?
The question :
In other words: how profitable is biofuel production from blue-green algae?
Three concepts in this question:● Profitability● Biofuels● Blue algae
What keywords are needed to describe these concepts? we must use:● Dictionary● Thesaurus● Article/Abstract/Website on the same subject● ...

We will select the following keywords:
For the concept of profitability / economic aspects:● profitability● economic viability● economic evaluation● commercialization
For the concept of bio-fuels:● biofuels● bioenergy● fuels● biodiesel
For the "blue algae" concept:● blue algae● blue green algae● cyanophyta● cyanobacteria

You can even draw this question:
biofuelsprofitability
Blue algae
Our focal point(answers that might be of interest)
![Page 17: How to search - infolit.be](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042802/626825babe9d1548b929fbf5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

(profitability OR ‘’economic viability’’ OR ‘’economic evaluation’’ OR commercialization)
AND
(biofuels OR bioenergy OR fuels OR biodiesel)
AND
(‘’blue algae’’ OR ‘’blue green algae’’ OR ’’Cyanophyta’’ OR ‘’Cyanobacteria’’)
The documentary question will the be:
Equation to adapt according to the tools, their vocabulary, their syntax... obviously

18
As a reminder (Boolean operators)...
profitability AND biofiul biofuels OR biodiesel
biofuels NOT plant

Also as a reminder
truncationprofit* =➔ profit➔ profitability➔ profiteering➔ profits
exact expressionThe use of quote➔ « blue algae »
(not only algae nor blue)

Systematic monitoring of results
Noise and Silence
Noise = too many irrelevant answers➔ use a more precise vocabulary, a more precise question
Silence = the right answers but not all➔ use synonyms, broaden vocabulary, broaden question
We see well when there is noise but we do not always see when there is silence ... a danger of missing important information

What happens if there is no answer? what would be the reason?➔ what's your opinion?
✔ there are no articles on this topic in the bibliographic databases – Yes/No? … why?
✔ there is no published research on this topic – Yes/No? … why?✔ may we say that’s no research has been done on this topic – Yes/No?
➔ what do we do?✔ do We start a research project from nothing?✔ do We keep looking? ✔ how?

During your extended literature search
➔ You can consult the bibliography of articles (cited papers)
➔ Follow links like: “see also” or “on the same subject”➔ You have also to identify the specialists in your field
✔ The most cited papers✔ Authors who publish most (in your topic)

Criticism of sources - critical thinking
➔ The interest of the document: does it answer the question?
➔ External evaluation: author, affiliation, date, target audience, support (journal, website...)
➔ Internal Evaluation:✔ Background: context, scientific quality, discussion,
bibliography✔ Form: readability, clarity, precision, style, spelling

Evaluate the author's scientific approach
See if the author:✔ has carried out an empirical (based on experimentation)
and reproducible verification of its hypothesis;✔ uses reliable scientific sources for all its claims;✔ proposes affirmations and results that can be refuted;✔ uses sound methodology and analysis;✔ don't jump too quickly to conclusions.
