Online Help to Learn How to Enter Searches, What Truncation Symbol to Use, How to Display Results, and How to Print Or Download Records online help to learn how to enter searches, what truncation symbol to use, how to display results, and how to print or download records. Internet Search Engines Once you have identified your keywords and developed appropriate search queries, you then select various search engines in which to input your queries. Search engines are tools designed to scan the Internet for sites and pages, which are then stored in indexes or databases. You search the contents of databases by typing selected keywords in the text box located on the search engine’s home page. The search engine then retrieves documents that match your keywords and displays the results ranked in order of that engine’s relevance. Comparisons of Search Engines The three major search engines used today are Google (http://www.google.com), Yahoo! Bing (http://www.bing.com), and Ask.com (http://www.ask.com). A search engine for scholarly or academic links is Google Scholar (http://scholar .google.com). You will find many peer-reviewed articles, books, and so on, as well as how often they are cited in other publications. There are also specialty search engines and virtual libraries in different dis- ciplines, such as the WWW Virtual Library for Anthropology (http://www .anthropologie.net). You can find listings for a variety of specialty search engines at Search Engine Guide (http://www.searchengineguide.com/search- engines.html). Also available is a website by Teach Thought that displays 100 search engines for academic research (https://www.teachthought.com/ learning/100-search-engines-for-academic-research/). A valuable resource for searching the “Deep Web” (a vast repository of informa- tion not accessible by search engines and directories) may be found on a page on the Online College Blog titled “100 Useful Tips and Tools to Research the Deep Web.” The author provides tips, strategies, and helpful articles and resources for deep searching (http://www.online-college-blog.com/index.php/ features/100-useful-tips-and-tools-to-research-the-deep-web). Evaluating Websites Since anyone can post information on the Internet without any oversight or edit- ing or fact checking, it is important that you evaluate any information that you find on the Internet to determine its credibility and authority before using it in your research. Look at the URL to see if it is a personal website, an educational site, a commercial site, or a nonprofit organization site. Look for authorship of the site (Is there an “About Us” link somewhere on the page?) and when the page was last updated. Does the site try to persuade or to sell something, or is it simply CHAPTER 9 • REVIEWING THE LiTERATURE 119 providing information? Is there any bias that you can detect? Can you validate the information through another source? Searching Blogs There are a variety of blog search engines available; however, we found Google Blog Search (https://blog.google/products/search/) to be one of the fastest and one that returns posts right on topic. The main focus of Google Blog Search is on relevance, but posts can also be sorted by date (click on the top right of the results page). In addition, you can keep track of new postings in your areas of interest via RSS feeds—short summaries sent from your favorite websites. STEP 3: IDENTIFY RELEVANT LITERATURE SOURCES The best place to begin your search is with the databases and indexes in your academic area. They help you identify and locate research articles and other sources of informa- tion related to your research topic. A detailed description of available secondary sources is beyond the scope of this book. However, as an example, we list some major resources traditionally used by education and social science researchers. To find resources in your specific academic discipline, do a keyword search in your university library’s online catalog for your discipline (e.g., sociology, psychology, anthropology) followed by the word handbook, encyclopedia, bibliography, thesaurus, dictionary, abstract, measures, and so on. Also, consult with librarians at your university library or with faculty in your graduate program for resources they turn to when beginning a new research project. In planning your search strategy, it is important to determine which academic dis- ciplines are conducting research in your topic area. It is more than likely that your research overlaps with other disciplines. For example, in the third research ques- tion in Step 1—“How does language use shape the identity of language-minority students?”—you must decide which academic disciplines might conduct research on this topic. Possibilities include anthropology, psychology, education, communi- cation, and sociology.

It can be in print and electronic formats. These are documents published by governmental agencies, academic institutions, corporations, research centers, professional organizations, and so on. • Working papers • Technical reports • Government documents • Government documents • Conference or symposia proceedings • White papers • Business documents • Newsletters • Monographs • Letters and diaries While these are not scholarly documents, they can provide up-to-date facts and statistics to broaden knowledge about a particular topic. The downside is that they are often difficult to find, and they must be carefully evaluated, as they are not peer reviewed. One way to locate grey literature is to search the agency or institution that produces the literature; another way is to consult a librarian. For a thorough explanation of grey literature and how to find it, refer to Doing a Literature Search by Hart (2004, Chapters 7 and 8). You will also find a selection of web-based resources in grey literature at Grey Literature Network Service (http://www.greynet.org). Existing Literature Review and Systematic Literature Review Articles These articles, including meta-analysis and meta-synthesis, consist solely of a literature review and are invaluable sources of data. They provide a good overview of research that has been conducted by synthesizing findings from individual studies. Many peer-reviewed systematic reviews are available in journals as well as from databases and other electronic sources. The bibliographic references are also very helpful.

  • Understanding the Purpose of Higher Education: an Analysis of the Economic and Social Benefits for Completing a College Degree
    2016 JEPPA VOL. 6, ISSUE 5 UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF HIGHER EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS FOR COMPLETING A COLLEGE DEGREE Roy Y. Chan Indiana University, Bloomington Abstract Higher education worldwide is facing unprecedented challenges—the dramatic rise of for- profit institutions, rapidly increasing expectations about what services colleges and universities should provide, and a complex society that demands college graduates with even more skills and capacities. To understand how higher education can effectively address these challenges, this paper investigates the public and private purpose of higher education and what it means for higher education’s future. Utilizing Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) and signaling theory, this research reviews the changing meanings of ‘public’ and ‘private’ in higher education from the perspective of (1) education providers and (2) undergraduate students. A comprehensive search of the literature selected 60 peer- reviewed journal articles and twenty-five books published between 2000 and 2016. Nine synthetic constructs of the goals were found and while there was some agreement between institutions and students on the economic and social benefits of higher education, the review was characterized by a significant misalignment. The findings suggest that student expectations for a college degree tends to be very instrumental and personal, while higher education purpose of undergraduate education tend towards highly ideal life- and society- changing consequences. This paper offers eight recommendations for policymakers to consider that address the growing misalignment gap between education providers and undergraduate students. The ultimate goal is to develop renovation or repurposing strategy across competing imperatives and to outline success measures to critically define, measure, and evaluate the achievement of specific goals and outcomes in hopes of resolving potential skills mismatch in a world of massive cataclysmic change.

  • Critical Appraisal of Mathematics Education Systematic Review Search Methods: Implications for Social Sciences Librarians
    Critical Appraisal of Mathematics Education Systematic Review Search Methods: Implications for Social Sciences Librarians Ashlynn Kogut, Margaret Foster, Diana Ramirez, and Daniel Xiao* Social sciences librarians have an interest in supporting systematic reviews, but the available guidance is focused on health sciences settings. This study contributes guidance specifically for social sciences librarians using the Campbell Collaboration’s standards to evaluate the search methods reported in systematic reviews on K–12 mathematics education. After searching ERIC (EBSCO), Education Source (EBSCO), Academic Search Ultimate (EBSCO), and Compendex (Engineering Village) in April 2018, we included 40 systematic reviews. The reviews were evaluated on the trans- parency of the reporting and the comprehensiveness of the search as required by the standards. The findings revealed deficiencies in search processes and reporting of search methods. We conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for librarians collaborating with social sciences researchers. Introduction Social sciences librarians have a valuable skill set for collaborating with researchers to develop search protocols for a research synthesis. This skill set includes knowledge of subject database coverage and interface features and experience developing and refining search strategies in support of research questions. Research synthesis methods, which analyze studies on a particu- lar topic, have been used and debated within the education discipline.1 The systematic review method is a research synthesis method in which a group of studies matching a predefined set of criteria are collected and appraised to answer a research question. The procedures for conducting a review can be summarized in four steps.2 The first step is planning the review, including framing the research question, defining the eligibility criteria, and determining project management issues such as software, timelines, and target outputs.

    publications Review Which Are the Tools Available for Scholars? A Review of Assisting Software for Authors during Peer Reviewing Process J. Israel Martínez-López 1,2,* , Samantha Barrón-González 2 and Alejandro Martínez López 2 1 Tecnologico de Monterrey, Escuela de Ingeniería y Ciencias, Ave. Eugenio Garza Sada 2501, 64849 Monterrey, N.L., México 2 Centro de Investigacion Numericalc; 5 de mayo Oriente 912, 64000 Monterrey, N.L., México * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-81-8358-2000 Received: 10 July 2019; Accepted: 4 September 2019; Published: 9 September 2019 Abstract: There is a large amount of Information Technology and Communication (ITC) tools that surround scholar activity. The prominent place of the peer-review process upon publication has promoted a crowded market of technological tools in several formats. Despite this abundance, many tools are unexploited or underused because they are not known by the academic community. In this study, we explored the availability and characteristics of the assisting tools for the peer-reviewing process. The aim was to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the tools available at this time, and to hint at new trends for further developments. The result of an examination of literature assisted the creation of a novel taxonomy of types of software available in the market. This new classification is divided into nine categories as follows: (I) Identification and social media, (II) Academic search engines, (III) Journal-abstract matchmakers, (IV) Collaborative text editors, (V) Data visualization and analysis tools, (VI) Reference management, (VII) Proofreading and plagiarism detection, (VIII) Data archiving, and (IX) Scientometrics and Altmetrics.
