Problems with Searching

Are you using the right terms?

Hard to see if youre missing anything (searching

blind)

How much is your chosen database / search engine

not covering?

The right way to search

Different people can use different resources and

methods to find the same papers

How you search depends on:

What youre looking for

How much do you know already

Your own preferences

Very precise searching vs.

Broad searching followed by filtering

How much time you have

Suggested search strategy

Phase 1:

Single keyword / phrase searches (testing the water)

Checking thesauri / keywords in other papers

Combining search terms

Scanning search results and abstracts

Refining / filtering searches

Saving the papers you like (RefWorks)

Reading articles and keeping/discarding them

Taking notes

Citation tracking (bibliographies and Scopus)


23/34

Scopus

Abstracts and citation data for 18,000 journals in all

disciplines, including business

Links to full-text articles, where available

Collects data on:

Who a paper cites (its reference list)

Who has cited a paper since publication


24/34

Citation Tracking / Searching

Easy to find what papers an article cites: justsee the

papers reference list!

(Murphy 2005)(Gordon 2001)(Ellis 1998)

(Brabazon 2003)


25/34


But who has been citing(Murphy 2005)?

(Murphy 2005)(Gordon 2001)(Ellis 1998)

(Brabazon 2003)

(Kittle 2007)(Chi 2006)

(Glazer 2009)


26/34


You can do a lot with citation info:

Search backwards and forwards in time to see how

ideas develop

See how influential a paper is (no. of times cited)

Find the most highly cited papers in your field

Identify leading researchers/journals/schools etc. by

their citation counts


27/34


Collating this info is difficult and only a few

databases or websites do it

Web of Science

Scopus

Google Scholar / Publish or Perish
