4. Search demonstrations
Whilst all of the techniques that we have explored here can be used by researchers working in any discipline, a search undertaken by a Medical researcher will be significantly different from a search undertaken by a researcher in the Humanities or a researcher working in the field of Science and Engineering. We have provided examples here of a research question and research topics.
Researchers in Science and Medicine can watch this short video which demonstrates how to put all these techniques into practice using a search of PubMed. Our research question is:
Is vaccination effective against the spread of bird flu?
HSS researchers can watch this short video which demonstrates how to put all of these techniques into practice using a search of Scopus. Our research topic is:
