🚀 Read my latest publication presenting 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁—𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀. It allows you to filter and sort databases based on 583 criteria: doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1746

Stop searching only Google Scholar -> get more RELEVANT Here's what others won't tell you about choosing from 90 #databases very EFFICIENTLY — Go to searchsmart(dot)org. — Define Your Discipline: Start by specifying your field, like Medicine. Tip: You can use 𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 as well to be more specific — Ensure Keyword Search Capability: Check that your databases offer systematic #keywordsearch functionality. Tip: Check out backward and forward citation features too - pretty useful! — Assess the Coverage: Look for databases with both high absolute and relative subject coverage. Tip: Include at least one database SPECIFIC to each subject area of your review for depth and precision (and so look for relative subject coverage) . — Narrow Down Choices: Pinpoint a few databases, then COMPARE their coverage and functionalities in detail. Search smart provides you a VERY detailed comparison, example when you're looking to: - Track historical trends or the development of a topic, 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 helps you gauge the depth and evolution of research over time. - Zero in on relevant articles, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 helps you filter databases by your specific research area. - Explore extensive content options, 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 coverage indicates a wide array of documents available in the database. You can maximize its utility by excluding specific fields that aren't relevant to your research. For eg, if your study is in medicine, you might EXCLUDE energy or psychology to tailor the database's output to your needs. Remember: The goal is to pair the vast reach of multidisciplinary databases with the FOCUSED depth of specialized sources. ------------------------------------------------------------ Need help with using LLMs & choosing the right tools for your research?
