Mapping Search Tools for Lit Review [Advanced]

Conducting a systematic or one-time literature search is a complex task that demands expertise in search methods across multiple databases. Regardless of the type it is recommended to search at least three databases, including large index and smaller subject-focused ones.

In this session we will try to maximise the potential of reference databases - SciVal, Web of Science, Google Scholar and discovery tool Primo by understanding the differences between and how to leverage them for more efficient, targeted searches.
