Choice and definition of the

subject: some advice

(4)

Choice and definition of the subject

Since you will dedicate a good amount of time to your work, it will be easier if you feel comfortable with the subject you

choose.

So, choose a subject...

•

that you find interesting and motivating

• that lets you focus on your professional career

•

but also that it is a subject with enough bibliography, so that

you can delve into your work.

(5)

Choice and definition of the subject

Once you have chosen your subject, you will need to consider some questions that will

help you focus before beginning to search

for information.

(6)

The reference works (encyclopedias and dictionaries) will help you contextualize the subject and become familiar with the terminology

Points of view that you want to address, period of time, geografic location, language, type of

document, ...

1. What do I want to search about the subject?

Choice and definition of the subject

(7)

You will not double unnecessary efforts to recover information that you already had Do an outline of what you already know to establish your

starting point

2. What do I already know?

Choice and definition of the subject

(8)

Consult the Search engine of the UAB Libraries or ask your reference librarian to know the relevant sources of information.

See: Module 2 Search process Approach the databases, books, magazines, etc., where

you will search for information

3. What information resources are available for me?

Choice and definition of the subject

(9)

UAB libraries offer in-person and virtual courses about how this tool works.

Consult the programmed sessions at www.bib.uab.cat/formacio/ and sign up, don’t leave it for later!

Use the bibliographic manager Mendeley Institucional It will help you organise your research and to easily access to

the documents from anywhere

4. What do I do with the information I gather?

Choice and definition of the subject

(10)

Too much information, too few information ...

You still have time to change or redefine the subject!

Some tools, as virtual calendars and task managers, will help you to manage time

5. Do I have enough time?

Choice and definition of the subject

(11)

Choice and definition of the subject

But remember that...

Your teacher or tutor can guide you and will give you the necessary instructions to prepare your work.

2 – Search process

(13)

How can you do a search?

(14)

Identify the keywords

Success depends largely on choosing appropriate search terms

• Use meaningful terms that

represent important concepts

• Forget about prepositions,

conjunctions, articles, pronouns, adjectives or adverbs

• Look for synonyms and related terms

• Equivalents in English and other

major languages

(15)

j

Identify and define your need for information. Define the topic well

• Express the subject or topic in a specific sentence

Example 1: Clostridium difficile infection in horses Example 2: Bovine rabies in Colombia

• Geographical and chronological scope? Old or just recent information?

Identify the keywords

(16)

 Identify search terms: find the keywords that best define what we are looking for.

Identify key concepts: using meaningful terms and forgetting about prepositions, conjunctions, articles, pronouns, adjectives or adverbs

• Identify synonyms or other related keywords to obtain more appropriate results (English equivalents, related terms ...). Also take into account

singular / plural forms, acronyms, etc.

Example 1 Example 2

Concept 1: infection

Concept 2: Clostridium difficile Concept 3: horses

Concept 1: rabies Concept 2: bovines or bovinum

Concept 3: Colombia

The success of the search will be largely determined by the proper selection of terms that we use in the search strategy

Identify the keywords

(17)

•AND (i, y, &): returns documents that contain both terms. Example: infection AND horses

•OR (+, O): returns documents that contain any one of the terms. Example:

bovine OR bovinum

•NOT (- , AND NOT): returns

documents that contain one term, but excludes all those that contain the other one. Example: rabies NOT dogs

Boolean operators

 Build the search. Know how they can be combined the terms between them to retrieve the most appropiate information Boolean opeators

are used to search for information. They combine the search terms to refine the search and return exactly what you need

(18)

Other operators: truncation

The keywords can have suffixes and retrieving all these variants can help in finding the documents we want Truncation retrieves the term exactly as

written plus the term with its suffixes

• The most common are: * ! ? $

#

• Example:

• **bovin* : bovine, bovinum, bovins, bovinos, ...**

Use truncations and wildcards:

signs that let you search by the

word's root or replace letters in

it

^.

(19)

Too many results? Add a filter to your search

✓ By field (e.g., search only in the author field)

✓ By the language of the documents

✓ By location or time period

✓ By document format (e.g., only journal

articles)...

(20)

20

Check how relevant and

comprehensive your results are

Do the results fit your information needs? Are they useful for your

project?

Relevant

Have you retrieved all the results you need?

Comprehensive

If not, you may need to tweak your strategy

m

Analyze the degree of ownership and exhaustiveness of the results

(21)

Tips on tweaking the search strategy

• Add more major concepts and combine them with AND

• Remove any truncations

• Use descriptors

• Search in narrower fields (for example, the title or the keywords)

If you get too many results

• Remove the less important concepts

• Add synonyms and combine them with OR

• Use truncations

• Widen the search to more general fields (for example, abstract) or to all the fields

If you get too

few results

(22)

Know the academic resources

for your TFM

(23)

What is an academic resource?

Academic resource means it was written by qualified experts and cites other

research.

You are recommended to use academic information to support your arguments in your TFM.

To pick out the information of the highest

academic worth, try the IDEARE test

(24)

(25)

Excellent example of an academic work

• Intent: the article has a specific goal

• Readership: academics and researchers

• Evidence: the authors cite bibliographic references

• Topicality: Good

• Importance: Excellent. A specific study on the topic, cited several times

• Expertise: the authors are specialists in the subject and have published other articles in the field of Economics.

(26)

Good example of an academic work

• Intent: to provide a reconstruction of the Spanish national accounts over more than a century and a half (1850–2015) and a synthesis of their results

• Readership: university students and researchers

• Evidence: the authors cite bibliographic references

• Topicality: very good

• Importance: Excellent. A specific study on the Spanish economy

• Expertise: the author is a well-recognised historian whose research focuses mainly on economic and social history topics concerning Catalonia and the West Indies

What are the main sources of

information?

(30)

Information sources are the objects or subjects that generate, contain, provide or transfer information

✓ Primary sources give direct access to information. Examples: books, journals, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, etc.

✓ Secondary sources do not provide new information but give access to the

primary sources. Examples: catalogues,

databases, thematic portals, etc.

(31)

Search fields and search types

Search fields are the parts of the document records in which we look for the terms we have chosen. The commonest search fields are free text, title, author, keywords, topic, etc. Most information sources offer two options: basic search and advanced search.

✓ A basic search, in general, only lets us search in a single field in the entry: by author, by title, etc.

✓ An advanced search lets us combine

various search fields, for example title

and author, or title and topic, using the

operators that we learned about in

Module 2.1. This type of search yields

more precise results.

(32)

Know the most important sources of information

Below is a suggestion for locating books, articles and other academic sources.

Basic sources Specialist sources

✓ UAB Libraries Search Tool ✓ Databases

✓ University Union Catalogue of

Catalonia (CCUC) ✓ Subject guides

✓ Specialist search engines, repositories, etc.

(33)

Search Tool: www.uab.cat/biblioteques

Search Tool

A tool that lets you search in all the resources of the UAB Libraries.

The search is performed simultaneously in

• the UAB Libraries catalogue

• the UAB digital library (digital resources provided by the UAB Libraries)

• the digital repositories DDD and Traces It lets us

• restrict results according to various criteria

• access the full text (if it is available)

• reserve and borrow documents in "My account"

• save lists of documents, send references and export them

to Mendeley, the bibliographic reference manager

(35)

Search Results

On performing a search it shows us all documents, whether in print or digital format, and you can apply filters to limit the results.

• To see only results from the UAB Libraries: filter by UAB Catalogue

• To see only electronic documents: filter by digital library

• To see only full-text electronic resources: filter by full text

• To see electronic resources published in high-impact journals:

filter by peer review

• Filter by other factors , such as library, collection, format,

language, topic, geographical location, years of publication, etc.

Citing and compiling the bibliography

In order to carry out any scientific work we need to use information that is already published, that is we must acknowledge our debt to the information sources we use.

When we use someone else’s information (an article, a book, a website, statistics) to do our own academic work we have to say where we got that information from, that is we have to cite the information source, no matter if we are summarising and idea or quoting literal words.

So, you must keep this in mind:

• When you write your research and you use someone else’s work, cite it properly in your text.

• When you look for information, do take note of the reference of all documents you have used whatever the source is: book, article, internet resource, tweet, image, statistics...

(81)

Why use citations?

WHY ARE CITATIONS

NEEDED?

To acknowledge the original author of the idea and define

responsibilities

To back up our arguments with the research and theories of others

To avoid plagiarism

To locate the sources cited (books, articles, websites, etc.) and point the

reader towards further information To lend credibility and rigour to your

project. Stating where you got your information from proves that you

have done your research

(82)

What should we cite?

WHAT

SHOULD WE CITE?

Any idea or sentence that is NOT of our own making

Any information that does NOT count as general knowledge We can cite data, images

(photos, maps or graphics),

tables, etc.

HOW TO CITE

STYLES

Many different styles are available for citing. You'll pick one or another depending on your field of

study, with help from your tutor.

3 TYPES OF CITATIONS

In formal terms we cite through citations, bibliographic references and/or bibliography

STANDARDISED STYLE

It is necessary to cite our sources and present bibliographic references in a way that is consistent

and uniform

What is a reference?

•

A reference is a set of bibliographic data that refers to a document.

•

These are all the sources all the sources that have been cited throughout the work and are, in a systematic list at the end.

•

Citations must be coherent and keep the same style ALWAYS throughout the text.

•

The layout of bibliographic references changes according to the type of source you need to cite.

That is, references for books contain different elements than references for journal articles.

Bibliographic references for different types of sources

Once you have chosen a citation style, you will see the layout of a bibliographic reference varies according to the type of source that needs to be cited. The components of a reference for a book will be diferent from those used when citing a journal article.

Therefore, you will have to follow the guidelines for each type of source: elements that must appear in the citation, their order in the reference, format (italics...), punctuation (brackets, quotation marks, ellipsis...), etc.

In the bibliography, this citation style rules that in documents with up to 10 authors all must be included in the citation, when there are more than 10 authors the tenth author will be followed by comma and et al.

(90)

90

When you use the guia d’estil Council of Science Editors, you will see there are 3 ways to list the bibliography:

⮚

Cite – sequence : sources are numbered in the text according to the order of appearance. References in the resulting bibliography will be listed following the numerical order.

⮚

Cite – Name : each reference in the bibliography will be numbered according to the authors’ surnames alphabetical order. Within the text sources will be cited using the number they have been assigned in the bibliography.

In these two cases aràbic numerals and superscript must be used^{1 2 3}

➢

Name – Date (Author-Date) : within the text, author’s surname and publication year between parenthesis. The bibliography will have to be arranged by authors’ surname alphabetical order followed by year of publication.
