6 Libguide for Reference Managers
7 Task 1 Create a Refworks account
8 Good book on methodology Supervisor recommended this book Useful literature review in this paper Classic paper to use in the introduction Your Thesis Paper supports my argument in chapter 2 Good comparison study in this paper NGO project evaluation, good evidence for chapter 5 Lots of country data on this site
9 Reference chasing You know relevant books and papers already so follow the references, but don t rely on this approach alone. Ask people Recommendations are a good starting point and you have to read what your supervisor suggests but this not a comprehensive solution. Approaches to finding the literature The systematic approach Plan your search, list your search terms, hit the databases, systematically manage your references and papers Google Scholar It is the biggest database and covers books as well. A useful starting point but it is hard to control and causes frustration.
10 Start with a clear research question
11 Example research question Identify the search concepts in your research question: Globalisation and feminist thought in development : a case study from Lebanon For each search concept, brainstorm keywords: e.g. for feminist thought also search for feminism, gender theory, women s rights, sexual equality etc.
12 Building a structured search An example of one possible approach Research Question: Globalisation and feminist thought in development Row 1 Concept 1: globalisation Concept 2: feminist thought Concept 3: development Row 2 Globalization Multinational Global Market Feminism Gender theory Economic Policy Poverty Row 3 #1 = globali?ation OR multinat* OR global market* #2 = feminist thought OR feminis* OR gender theory #3 = development AND (economic OR policy OR policies OR poverty) Row 4 #1 AND #2 AND #3 (N.B. # means search number)
13 Search syntax: Boolean logic AND university and oxford NARROWS SEARCH OR university or oxford BROADENS SEARCH NOT university not oxford NARROWS SEARCH
14 Search syntax: wildcard characters Truncation may be used in a number of ways: * for right side truncation (e.g. plurals and alternative word endings) feminis* retrieves feminist, feminists, feminism? for a single character (e.g. alternative spellings) organi?ation for organisation or organization $ for one character or zero characters behavio$r* retrieves behavior, behaviour, behavioral, etc Check the database online help (the symbols given above are common but not universal)
15 Task 2: Create an Advanced Search String
16 Exporting references from SOLO
17 Exporting references via the e-shelf
18 Articles from OU e-journals (link from SOLO)
19 SCOPUS Indexes journal articles, conference proceedings, working papers. Limited coverage of political topics and social theory Jstor full text database, lots of classic journals back to their beginning, lacks most recent years Major databases Proquest Platform Searches scholarly journals, theses, news and commercial publications Google Scholar Searches journal articles and books some other content (but not government, NGOs, policy institutes etc.)
20 Databases via OxLIP+ (link tab on SOLO or )
21 SAGE Research Methods Online Link via OxLIP+
22 Proquest Platform- IBSS
23 Google Scholar Preferences
24 Libguides
25 Task 3: Run your advanced search in Proquest
26 Grey literature Key sources for development studies working papers, conference papers and policy briefs include: Oxfam ODID Dfid MigrationOxford FMO IDS Eldis CIAO PolicyFILE IOM UNBISnet See the LibGuides for other useful links
27 Theses Search for previous MSc theses on SOLO ( msc thesis global governance ) Proquest Dissertations & Theses: The Humanities and Social Sciences Collection (full-text). Mainly US but some global content. EThOS. UK theses digitized by the British Library (not all universities, no Oxford theses)
