E-Databases & E-Journals This section will discuss about : o Difference between search engine and academic databases o Famous academic databases and e-journals website o How to search information efficiently o Analysis tools and services provided by databases 19
Academic databases & Search engine Search engines : Academic (research) databases: 20
Search engine & Academic databases are databases Source of information Search result Data evaluation Search engine collected and indexed information of website in World Wide Web (including online journal) URL link to website or webpage not evaluate the content (user have to determine for trustworthy) Academic databases Indexed from research article in academic journal only Bibliographic record of scholar articles, proceeding, patent, e-books and link to website Most academic journal have peer review. High quality database are not included journal in Beall s list Peer-reviewed = process in which information are reviewed by experts of the topic (was called reviewer or reader) 21
Google & Google scholar Both are web search engine but have a different. Google indexed content from all websites. (webpage, social media including online journal. Google scholar indexed only website that contain scholarly contents (such as research article from author personal website, university repository, citation collections and online journal). Journals in Beall s list are not excluded. 22
www.google.com scholar.google.com Link to website (news, information, Ad. etc.) No peer Link to Articles (Journal, repository, patent and citation) No peer (peer depends on resource) Useful for quickly find out full text 23
Research database VS Google scholar Research database Google scholar Give bibliography data of article appropriated with keyword Selected journal (have peer) All online journal (Google did no peer) 24
Research database VS Google scholar Research database Full text at publisher Have insight data Google scholar Full text at publisher or author s webpage no 25
Insight data Summarize data how many articles were published every year Who is the expert in this field 26
Insight data Give list of articles that citing this article (related articles) 27
PubMed o Medical and health science databases (Medline) o Free database provided by NIH o Can be search for articles from anywhere but access to full text depended on journal 28

(top up from 2006 subscribed by Office of Higher Education) 30

SCOPUS Example : Survey for any research about developing vaccine again Zika virus by Thai researcher First step find keyword Zika virus main keyword Vaccine sub keyword Thailand 32
SCOPUS Test 1 : Keyword = zika virus Result 5,851 articles See detail in the article Present and future arboviral threats Does it involve with Zika virus? 33
SCOPUS From Present and future arboviral threats Only virus in abstract and zika in indexed keyword field 34
SCOPUS Test 2 : Keyword = zika virus Result 5,448 articles What is different between Zika virus and zika virus 35
Searching principle (1) 1. Use _ cover keyword as Phrase search Zika virus = xxxx xxxxx xxx zika xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx virus xxxx xxxxx xxx zika virus xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx zika virus = xxxx xxxxx xxx zika virus xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx 2. Wild card character? = represent any one character m?n = man, men tumo?r = tumor (US) / tumour (GB) colo?r = color(us) / colour (GB) * = represent any characters vaccin* = vaccine / vaccines / vaccination / vaccinated 36
Searching principle (2) 3. Boolean operator AND = need only those contain all keywords OR = contain any keyword NOT = result without keyword Ex. Zika virus = zika AND virus (have both zika AND virus in any position *** modern database automatically add operator AND if there are more than 1 word together, so AND is no need now *** To search vaccine and immun response against zika virus zika virus AND (vaccine OR immune response ) = zika virus AND vaccine + zika virus AND immune response together 37
Searching principle (3) 4. Advanced search to indicate specific data field make search results more specified Are there report of developing vaccine of zika virus by Thai researcher Ex. Zika virus vaccine thailand 38
Searching principle (4) Is it right? 39
Searching principle (5) There is one Thai author (Institute for Population and Social Research, MU) It seem to be correct answer but it was not! 40
Searching principle (6) zika virus AND vaccine AND Thailand mean Looking for articles that have wording zika virus and vaccine and Thailand in any position of article title or abstract or keywords 41
Searching principle (7) affiliation = Thailand means author work in Thailand 42
Searching principle (8) There are many data fields can be used to specified searching and limitation 43
Sub keyword same as using AND Go to full text article Filter (limit to or exclude) 44
Select any article make icon active Download multiple PDF at the same time. Download manager need Java, so it s not working in Chrome Make bibliography of selected articles printer, email or text 45
Registered user can save search key for later used and make mail alert Make alert Save search 46
SCOPUS mail alert Setup alert condition Sample of mail alert 47
ISI Web of Knowledge o Multidisciplinary o Contain 2 major databases Web of Science + Incites Journal Citation Report (Journal Impact factor) o Information since 1999 48
ISI Web of Knowledge How many articles about zika virus vaccine published by Thai researcher 49
ISI Web of Knowledge Method 1 : use keyword with Boolean operator zika virus (topic) AND vaccine (topic) AND Thailand (address) 50
ISI Web of Knowledge 2 3 Method 2 : use refine function Step 1 = zika virus (topic) Step 2 = vaccine (in refine box) Step 3 = refine Country : Thailand (address) 51
Compare SCOPUS and Web of Science Test keyword SCOPUS WoS Zika virus 1,404 1,035 Zika virus 1,326 949 "zika virus" AND vaccine 146 94 "zika virus" W/10 vaccine "zika virus" NEAR/10 vaccine "zika virus" AND vaccine AND Thailand [Address] 47 25 4 4 Analysis of duplication of "zika virus" AND vaccine Between SCOPUS & WoS 71 75 19 SCOPUS WoS 52
