Carolyne week 8
Purpose
The purpose of this activity is to determine optimal ways to search for journal articles related to the structure-function relationships in the gp120 region of the Env protein in HIV using Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science. This way, a library of relevant articles can be made to use in developing a research project looking at structure-function related to HIV gp120.

Advantages vs. Disadvantages of Each Search Engine
- Advantages of Google Scholar: Google scholar returns a wide number of results. In addition, it bolds the keywords in the results and gives easy access to the citations for the articles.
- Disadvantages of Google Scholar: Because google scholar gives so many results, it's hard to tell which ones are useful to a research project. In addition, some of these results are not scientific papers, but citations, doctoral theses, or patents.
- Advantages of PubMed: PubMed is more specialized, so it returns fewer search results but they are more closely related to the search topic. In addition, I can be specific in my search for an article (ex. only looking for review articles, only looking for primary journal articles, etc.).
- Disadvantages of Pubmed: PubMed is limited to biomedical research primarily. In addition, it does not tell you which papers you have access to as a student at LMU.
- Advantages of Web of Science: Web of Science is the easiest to use if I am looking for articles that newer articles that cited a specific paper, or to determine the articles a published paper cited. Web of Science is also useful because it has a wider range of focus beyond biomedical research.
- Disadvantages of Web of Science: Searching with Web of Science gave a really small number of search results. In addition, the search function is not as specific is the one in PubMed.
Impact of Key Words
In doing the searches on each search engine, I found that the keywords I used could impact the articles that I received. For example, when I searched with my assigned term (HIV gp120 structure variation) in Google Scholar, I primarily received articles that focused solely on the structure of HIV gp120. But when I use the term "HIV gp120 structure-function," I get papers that specifically look at how the structure impacts HIV function that did not appear in my other search. Thus choosing the right keywords is important to find journal articles that are relevant to what I want to research and study.

- Journal Publisher: The National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
- NAS is a non-profit organization
- NAS is a very prestigious honors society for distinguished scientists ("Mission").
- The publisher does not belong to the Open Access Publishers Association.
- The journal is published in the United States of America.
- The journal has been in operation since 1915.
- The articles in the journal are peer-reviewed.

- Journal Impact Factor: 9.5804 ("PNAS Article and Journal Metrics")
- Journal Publisher: The National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
Evaluating the Source: The Article
- The article is a primary research article.
- The article was submitted on January 2, 2018. It was accepted on January 29, 2018.
- They do not state if the article underwent any revisions before being accepted.
- The article was published online on published February 20, 2018. It was also included in the issue of PNAS released on March 6, 2018.
- The elapsed time between submission and publication was about four weeks.
- The authors are affiliated with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and National Institutes of Health–Johns Hopkins University Graduate Partnership Program. Both of these are ultimately affiliated with the National Institutes of Health.
- The authors have published other articles on this subject. By looking at the publications in PubMed for author J. Yolitz, it appears that this author has published several papers studying gp120 in HIV. The corresponding author, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, has published many studies related to HIV, but not all of them are specifically related to gp120.
- The authors declared they had no conflicts of interest.
- Relevance: So far, we have looked at sequences of the V3 region in gp120 to study HIV evolution. This paper is relevant because it talks about the structure of the HIV gp120 region in the ENV protein. Specifically, the found that the amino acid residues at the Env signal peptide gange the glycosylation sites in the protein, which affects the antigenicity of HIV gp120.
- Recommendation: Since gp120 is important for the HIV virus to enter the cell and the next project is focused on HIV structure, I think this paper would be an ok paper to read. While it isn't focused on the V3 region specifically, the fact that they analyzed the amino acids and determined how that could impact the HIV virus might help to provide ideas about the structure project. The only downside is that just based on the abstract alone, it seems like it would be a jargon-heavy and challenging paper to understand in detail.
Conclusion
The purpose of this activity was to find the best methods for finding relevant scientific articles on HIV's gp120 region and to create a list of resources that can be used to develop a project studying HIV's gp120 region. Based on this activity, I believe I have found a good amount of articles that are informative about HIV gp120's structure-function relationships.
Going into this assignment, I was already quite comfortable with using Google Scholar and PubMed because I have had to use these resources in the past to find journal articles for literature reviews and research papers I've written in my classes. I knew that picking the right keywords was important and that having the wrong keywords could prevent me from finding articles relevant to me. After this assignment, I learned about how using the same keywords in different search engines/databases can lead to different results. I also learned about Web of Science, which I think will be useful in my HIV project. Finally, I learned about the importance of examining a journal article to see who wrote and published it, since that could affect how I read and understand the paper.
