Wrap Up - Adv Lit Searching

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Advanced Literature Searching module.

To recap:

  • When reading scholarly and academic articles, read them out of order, beginning with the abstract and conclusion. Constantly ask yourself if the article is relevant for your needs, and if not, move on.
  • There are many places to find datasets for analysis, including in library subscription databases like Web of Science and U-M resources like the Deep Blue repository.
  • The Scopus database has advanced features like Author Affiliation and Citation Alerts, which allow you to become more knowledgeable about the research being done on a specific discipline or by colleagues here at U-M.

This is the end of the Advanced Literature Searching module.
