Purpose

The purpose is to explore different search engines in order to find a variety of scientific papers. Using these different search engines, we can understand the differences between them and determine in what situations we should use each of them. We can employ our understanding of these in order to find relevant articles in the future.

Methods/Results

  1. Warm up exercise (announced in class) was to search a topic that we were interested in further studying about COVID-19.
    • My keyword was "SARS-CoV-2 antibodies"

Google Scholar

  1. Performed a search in Google Scholar.
    1. Recorded the number of “hits” found:
      • I found 26,800 results
    2. Recorded the top 10 papers, this time using APA format:

  1. A shared bibliography was created for the entire class. Articles from above were added to the to the class shared bibliography page.
    • Only articles that were unique were added.
    • Placed review articles and primary research articles in their respective sections. If the article did not fit either of those two categories, it was placed in the other articles section.
    • Added the articles in APA format (re-found them in Google Scholar to easily obtain APA format, if necessary). Added wiki signature to the end of the citation.
    • Contributed 3 unique articles.
  2. Using the shared bibliography, I was assigned one article. I recorded the citation for the article in APA format:
    • Zhao, J., Yuan, Q., Wang, H., Liu, W., Liao, X., Su, Y., Wang, X., Yuan, Li, T. Li, J., Qian, S., Hong, C., Wang, F., Liu, Y., Wang, Z., He, Q., Li, Z., He, B., Zhang, T., Fu, Y., Ge, S., Liu, L., Zhang, J., Xia, N., Zhang, Z., & Qian, S. (2020).

    • In Web of Science, search for the specific article that you have been assigned.
      • How many cited references does that article have?
        • The article has 12 cited references.
      • How many articles have cited the article you have been assigned?
        • 1,033 articles have cited the article I am assigned to.

Advantages and Disadvantages

  1. What are the relative merits of searching with Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science? Name two advantages and disadvantages for each.
    • Google Scholar: advantages
      • Advantages to Google Scholar are that searching for results is made very simple for the user. It takes only a few short seconds and the process is user-friendly. Another advantage is that there are lots of results to choose from for the person searching. It shows results for a large variety of articles very quickly.
    • Google Scholar: disadvantages
      • Disadvantages to Google Scholar are that the top hits that come up are dependent on a lot of unknown factors and may not be the most relevant to a person's search. Additionally, it can be difficult to search for things in more concrete ways or to narrow the search down to smaller fields.
    • PubMed: advantages
      • PubMed has a large variety of very specific filters with which the search field can be narrowed down, making it easier to find certain articles. It also searches for a large variety and has a user-friendly interface.
    • Pubmed: disadvantages
      • PubMed only has a few journals or papers. Therefore, certain results may not generate a wide variety of articles for the topic you are interested in. Additionally, it can be slower in the search than Google Scholar is, especially for more advanced searches.
    • Web of Science: advantages
      • Web of Science allows the user to access articles based on the number of times it has been cited or used by others, which can be useful when searching for relevant studies. It also allows for an analysis of your results, making it easy to see where your information comes from.
    • Web of Science: disadvantages
      • Web of Science is not free to use, which can limit the number of people who can access it. It also only has a few articles available, so the search results are not broad.
  2. What impact does the choice of keywords have on your results?
    • Keyword choice is very important for the results a user will receive. Words such as 'and' or even dashes can change what shows up in a search result. When looking for a certain article or topic, it is important to be as specific as possible in order to receive the best results you can. In this way, only the most relevant articles will show up in your search.

Scientific Conclusion

I learned how to employ search engines more efficiently, including how to restrict my searches. Normally, I always used Google Scholar as my primary search engine when looking for articles, but now I am aware of PubMed and Web of Science. Both of these search engines can be used to find relevant scholarly articles. By using these new search engines, I can find the best articles related to my search by using keywords such as 'and' in my preliminary search.
