Purpose of Literature Search
© Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC,
Chandkheda
5
 A literature search serves three important
functions
 Gives background information
 Demonstrate your familiarities with research in your
field
 Shows how your work contributes to body of
knowledge in your field

Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
6
 The review report demonstrate
 What others have accomplished in your filed and
how your work differs from works of others.
 You demonstrate your understanding of the relevant
works of others and your ability to summarize this
information, for convenience of your reader
Finding Sources
© Dr. C. B.
Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
7
 Sources of literature are –
 Library
 Internet
 Sources are generally described as –
 Primary: primary sources are “materials of that you
are directly writing about, the raw material of your
own research”
 Secondary: books and articles in which other
researchers report the results of their research
based on (their) primary data or sources
 Tertiary: tertiary sources are “books and articles
based on secondary sources, on the research of
others”
Primary Sources
© Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC,
Chandkheda
8
 Examples of primary sources are data sets,
computer runs, computer programs, scale
models, drawings, and engineering notebooks. A
well-kept engineering notebook can provide
valuable information for later documentation of
test conditions and assumptions, materials used,
observations as well as measurements, and
unusual occurrences that prompted further
testing.
Secondary Sources
© Dr. C. B.
Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
9
 Examples of secondary sources include
conferences, proceedings, journals, and books.
Journal articles are often the most current source
of information on a topic of study that is new or
subject to rapid change. Lists of references at the
end of each journal article can provide leads to
further sources.
 Engineering journals are typically field-specific.
Tertiary sources
© Dr. C. B.
Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
10
 Examples of tertiary sources include
dictionaries, encyclopedias, guides, and
handbooks. “Dictionaries and encyclopedias are
excellent starting points for research. They can
provide general background information to help
narrow or broaden the focus of a topic, define
unfamiliar terms, and offer bibliographies of other
sources.
Problems for novice researcher
© Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda11
 As a beginner
researcher, two of the
most common problems
one might encounter
are –
 Not knowing where to
find sources
 Once sources are
located, not knowing
how to sift or sort
through excess of
information to
determine what is
useful
Where are
resources?
Where I
am? What is
useful?

sources
A Search Plan
© Dr. C. B.
Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
14
 Consider how the topic progress through the
research documentation life cycle.
 There are two approaches –
1. Look for books that are currently accepted reference text
in your research area and find out who has cited them in
recent years.
2. Look for original (seminal) reports, papers or these written
by known experts and see who has cited them in recent
years.
 For these two approaches; Citation Index
becomes a very important source.
Citation Index
© Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC,
Chandkheda
15
 A citation index is a kind of bibliographic
database, an index of citations between
publications, allowing the user to easily establish
which later documents cite which earlier documents.
 Major citation indexing services
There are two publishers of general – purpose
academic citation index (available to library for
subscription) are –
 Thomson Scientific publishes ISI (Institute of Scientific
Information) citation index in print and CD
form, available on line with name “Web of Science”;
which in turn part of “Web of Knowledge”
 Elsevier, which publishes “Scopus”, available online only.
 IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org)
 ACM (Association for Computing Machine) Digital
Library (http://dl.acm.org)
Universally Available Free Citation Tools
© Dr. C. B.
Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
16
 Universally available free citation tools are –
 CiteBase (http://www.citebase.org); not yet
complete for academic evaluation. However papers‟
abstract are available.
 CiteSeerX (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu)
 Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com)
 Microsoft Academic Search
(http://academic.research.microsoft.com)
Next step in literature search
© Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC,
Chandkheda
17
 After locating and reading at least the abstract of
these papers
 Categorize the available papers by topic and
authors‟ technical interest in a topic. (As most of the
work is interdisciplinary)
 Then look at the reference list for new papers. (As
not all citation search provides similar result)
 There are two possibility one may have
 Have too few information
 Have too many information
Have too few information
© Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC,
Chandkheda
18
 If you have too few or no information, then topic
might be too narrow –
 Look for new topic heading or terms any newly
found used for information cataloging. Search for
that term in database
 If search still yields little information, get help from
library personnel or expert in field of your research.
Have too many information
© Dr. C. B.
Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda
19
 Plan to scale down your search to a manageable
amount.
 Specific aspects of a filed of study are often listed
in annotated bibliographies.
 Journal specific to a field can be a good resource.
 Get advice from expert.

Lecture 01 a

  • 1. Dr. Chetan B. Bhatt Professor and Head, Vishwakarma Government Engineering College, Chandkheda, Ahmedabad Research Methodology
  • 2. Unit - II © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 2  Review of Research Literature: Purpose and use of literature review, locating relevant information, use of library & electronic databases, preparation & presentation of literature review, research article reviews, theoretical models and frame work. Identification of gaps in research, formulation of research problem, definition of research objectives.
  • 3. Presentation Outline © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 3  Research Process  Literature Search  Purpose and Use  Locating Relevant Information  Citation Index Services  Search Engine  Bibliography management
  • 4. Research Process © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 4 Identify Topic of Interest State Unsolved Problem s Find or Develop Solution Generate Related Question s Literature Search Documentation Literature Search (Review) is not one – time process, it is iterative ThesisResearch Papers/Progr ess reportResearch Proposal Synopsi s
  • 5. Purpose of Literature Search © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 5  A literature search serves three important functions  Gives background information  Demonstrate your familiarities with research in your field  Shows how your work contributes to body of knowledge in your field
  • 6. Review Report © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 6  The review report demonstrate  What others have accomplished in your filed and how your work differs from works of others.  You demonstrate your understanding of the relevant works of others and your ability to summarize this information, for convenience of your reader
  • 7. Finding Sources © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 7  Sources of literature are –  Library  Internet  Sources are generally described as –  Primary: primary sources are “materials of that you are directly writing about, the raw material of your own research”  Secondary: books and articles in which other researchers report the results of their research based on (their) primary data or sources  Tertiary: tertiary sources are “books and articles based on secondary sources, on the research of others”
  • 8. Primary Sources © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 8  Examples of primary sources are data sets, computer runs, computer programs, scale models, drawings, and engineering notebooks. A well-kept engineering notebook can provide valuable information for later documentation of test conditions and assumptions, materials used, observations as well as measurements, and unusual occurrences that prompted further testing.
  • 9. Secondary Sources © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 9  Examples of secondary sources include conferences, proceedings, journals, and books. Journal articles are often the most current source of information on a topic of study that is new or subject to rapid change. Lists of references at the end of each journal article can provide leads to further sources.  Engineering journals are typically field-specific.
  • 10. Tertiary sources © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 10  Examples of tertiary sources include dictionaries, encyclopedias, guides, and handbooks. “Dictionaries and encyclopedias are excellent starting points for research. They can provide general background information to help narrow or broaden the focus of a topic, define unfamiliar terms, and offer bibliographies of other sources.
  • 11. Problems for novice researcher © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda11  As a beginner researcher, two of the most common problems one might encounter are –  Not knowing where to find sources  Once sources are located, not knowing how to sift or sort through excess of information to determine what is useful Where are resources? Where I am? What is useful?
  • 12. Systematic Approach For literature Search and Bibliography Management © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda12
  • 13. Problems for novice researcher © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda13  As a beginner researcher, two of the most common problems one might encounter are –  Not knowing where to find sources  Once sources are located, not knowing how to sift or sort through excess of information to determine what is useful Where are resources? Where I am? What is useful? 1. Not knowing where to find sources
  • 14. A Search Plan © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 14  Consider how the topic progress through the research documentation life cycle.  There are two approaches – 1. Look for books that are currently accepted reference text in your research area and find out who has cited them in recent years. 2. Look for original (seminal) reports, papers or these written by known experts and see who has cited them in recent years.  For these two approaches; Citation Index becomes a very important source.
  • 15. Citation Index © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 15  A citation index is a kind of bibliographic database, an index of citations between publications, allowing the user to easily establish which later documents cite which earlier documents.  Major citation indexing services There are two publishers of general – purpose academic citation index (available to library for subscription) are –  Thomson Scientific publishes ISI (Institute of Scientific Information) citation index in print and CD form, available on line with name “Web of Science”; which in turn part of “Web of Knowledge”  Elsevier, which publishes “Scopus”, available online only.  IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org)  ACM (Association for Computing Machine) Digital Library (http://dl.acm.org)
  • 16. Universally Available Free Citation Tools © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 16  Universally available free citation tools are –  CiteBase (http://www.citebase.org); not yet complete for academic evaluation. However papers‟ abstract are available.  CiteSeerX (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu)  Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com)  Microsoft Academic Search (http://academic.research.microsoft.com)
  • 17. Next step in literature search © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 17  After locating and reading at least the abstract of these papers  Categorize the available papers by topic and authors‟ technical interest in a topic. (As most of the work is interdisciplinary)  Then look at the reference list for new papers. (As not all citation search provides similar result)  There are two possibility one may have  Have too few information  Have too many information
  • 18. Have too few information © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 18  If you have too few or no information, then topic might be too narrow –  Look for new topic heading or terms any newly found used for information cataloging. Search for that term in database  If search still yields little information, get help from library personnel or expert in field of your research.
  • 19. Have too many information © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 19  Plan to scale down your search to a manageable amount.  Specific aspects of a filed of study are often listed in annotated bibliographies.  Journal specific to a field can be a good resource.  Get advice from expert.
  • 20. Another sources of information: Search Engines © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 20  OAIster database (freely accessible); http://www.oclc.org/oaister/; Union catalog of millions of record available as open resource by Open Archive Initiative  Ebookee (http://ebookee.com) by tradepub (they provide many digital magazine at no charge)  Complete Planet  O‟Reilly‟s CD Bookshelf (book accessible on-line)  WebBrain (mind mapping site, provides perspective of individual/organization)  Google …and other general purpose search engine

  • 22. Lost in Cyber Space/Information Overload © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda22  As a beginner researcher, two of the most common problems one might encounter are –  Not knowing where to find sources  Once sources are located, not knowing how to sift or sort through excess of information to determine what is useful Information Overload / lost in cyber space Where I am? What is useful? So much of information
  • 23. Tools to Manage Research © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda23
  • 24. Best Practices © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 24  Keep bibliographic trail  Keep track of source  Use tool to search resources on your desk - top  Use bibliography management tool  Use standard template (Microsoft Office/LaTeX/OpenOffice) for writing papers, reports, and thesis
  • 25. Keep Track of Resources © Dr. C. B. Bhatt, VGEC, Chandkheda 25  Location of resources  Date of access  Title  Authors  Page numbers  Year of publication  Library Call Number (LCN), International Standard Book Number (ISBN), International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)
