FORMATS OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL LITERATURE
  • JOURNAL - A PUBLICATION ISSUED PERIODICALLY THAT
    REPORTS ORIGINAL RESEARCH. AIMED AT A VERY
    SPECIALIZED AUDIENCE OF RESEARCHERS IN THE FIELD.
  • CONFERENCE PROCEEDING - A PUBLICATION THAT
    REPORTS RESEARCH PRESENTED AT A PROFESSIONAL
    MEETING
  • MAGAZINE - A PUBLICATION ISSUED PERIODICALLY THAT
    DOES NOT REPORT ORIGINAL RESEARCH, BUT TRANSLATES
    IT INTO LANGUAGE SUITED TO A MORE GENERAL
    AUDIENCE.

8
MORE FORMATS
  • RESEARCH LEVEL BOOKS (MONOGRAPH) - REPORTS
    RESEARCH DONE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME TO A MORE
    GENERAL AUDIENCE
  • REVIEW JOURNAL - PUBLISHED PERIODICALLY. A
    CONDENSED VERSION OF A RESEARCH LEVEL JOURNAL.
    DETAILED EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES ARE USUALLY
    OMITTED. ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY IS
    AN EXAMPLE

Developing a Search Strategy
  • Choose the proper database(s)
  • Do you need to be comprehensive or precise? There
    is a tradeoff!
  • Use all relevant search terms
  • Use Boolean Logic
  • Cut down if too many hits
  • Expand strategy if too few
  • Go to a printed resource?
  • Ask for help

35
IS YOUR ANSWER
  • REASONABLE?
