Hinweis der Redaktion
- Use encyclopaedias, handbooks and thesauri to help you. Consider the difference in spellings between UK and US English. Be careful with acronyms and abbreviations - some may have more than one meaning: e.g. PCB (printed circuit board or polychlorinated biphenols) Truncation / wildcard searching allows searching on a variety of possible words starting with the same stem.
- The most popular means of combining keywords is to use AND or OR and sometimes NOT. AND will look for references where both terms are present OR will look for references where either term is present NOT will eliminate all references containing the second term NB the order in which the operators are processed may vary between databases. Most (but not all) retrieval systems will perform NOT first followed by AND and finally OR and will allow the use of brackets to override this order. If in doubt check how the database has interpreted your search strategy. If you are still unsure - ask a member of staff.
- Geographic coverage Does the country in which the research took place affect the relevance of the article? Are there cultural or technological differences to take into account? Standards, regulations, laws Do the same standards, regulations or laws apply as for the topic you are researching? Quality of work Is the author or institution producing the research well-known and respected? If in doubt check with your tutor. Currency / accuracy Is the data up-to-date and accurate? Is the data or information based on research or other evidence? Language Is the article in a language you speak? Access Can you get hold of a copy of the original article? accuracy, etc
