![]() What, Where and How You've SearchedYou'll be surprised at the volume of information available when you're searching for sources for your literature review. Given your time is often limited, the last thing you want to do is double-back on yourself and end up performing the same searches multiple times. A simple but effective way to prevent this is to keep a record of what you have searched for, where you've searched for it and how you searched. This need not be a massive and complicated effort - a simple document in Word or Excel can be effective. Simple headings like date searched, location of search, search words, number of hits are ideal. |
