Objectives

At the end of this seminar you will be able to:

Distinguish the complexity and range of available resources

Evaluate and select the appropriate sources

Develop effective search strategies Formulate the correct approach to citing sources

22/04/2023 3

Primary Information Sources

Personal correspondence (including emails)

Diaries Manuscripts Works of art and literature Speeches Oral histories Interviews

Company documents and reports Newspaper ads and stories Census or demographic records Specimens (Plant, animal, etc) Hearings (e.g. legislative proceedings) Audio and video recordings Photographs and posters

A primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, object, person or work of art. They are generally contemporary to the events and people described and may be written and non-written, the latter including sound, picture, and artifact. Examples:

22/04/2023 4

Secondary Information Sources A secondary source, in contrast, lacks the immediacy of a

primary record. As materials are produced sometime after the event, these sources contain information that has been interpreted, commented, analyzed or processed in such a way that it no longer conveys the freshness of the original.

Text books, Handbooks, Directories Book Reviews Encyclopedias Serial articles (journals, newspapers) Theses Technical Reports

Patents Standards Conference proceedings Government

Documents Maps, Plans, Charts Websites Television and radio

Appropriate Research Materials

Academic and scholarly (reviewed by peers)

Written by and for researchers/academics What is the reputation of the book/journal and its publisher & author(s)? If there is an abstract, is it well-written? Is there a clear research problem statement and are there objectives? Are the organization of the article and its rationale and style clear and

appropriate? Is the quantity, quality and validity of the data acceptable? Are the instrumentation and analytical techniques clearly described and used

appropriately? Do the conclusions and interpretations follow from the data?

Include references and bibliography

Dissecting Your SearchIdentify the main topics/terms:

What words and phrases express key concepts? Look up terms in appropriate index(es), e.g. dictionary; thesaurus; subject/keyword list; index, etc.

What terms are synonymous with others?

Are there any foreign language terms?

Should you include scientific names/terms? Limit your search: document type; geography; publication date,

language; author; publication; company, etc

Searching for Ancestors – Checking Document References

Examining the reference lists of documents

Ancestry searching - using the reference lists from relevant

publications to find earlier research studies.

Working your way back through the literature until either the

important concepts disappear or the studies become obsolete.

Offers the probability of uncovering a fairly complete set of

archival references to the subject literature

Searching for Descendents – Cited Reference Search

Seeking documents that were influenced by or sprang from the original

publications

Author based approach

Citation frequency is a consistent indication of the importance of a

paper.

Also an indication of the influence of one work upon the work of others

Introducing Primo

Ethical use of information “Plagiarism: the action or practice of taking someone else’s work,

idea, etc., and passing it off as one’s own; literary theft.” (Oxford English Dictionary 2010).

When writing your paper, it is important that you acknowledge the ideas, piece of writing, design, etc., by providing references.

The first step in avoiding plagiarism is cultivating good note taking habits. For each source you use keep track of:

the author, title of the work, title of the publication in which the work appears, name of the publisher, date, and if applicable, number or issue of publication, the pagination, URL, and access date.

Use Turnitin

Use Endnote, Reference Manager or Procite to manage citations.22/04/2023 60
