Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to utilize different search engines to search for scientific literature and become familiar with the search tools that each search engine provides to make finding scientific articles more efficient.

    • This article has 48 cited references.
    • This article has been cited by 24 articles.
  14. Merits of using Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of science.
    • Google Scholar advantages
      1. One advantage is that this search engine provides a wide range of results from the keywords that are entered.
      2. One advantage is that this search engine allows you to use a citation button that creates a citation for the particular articles you find.
    • Google Scholar disadvantages
      1. Some of the articles that are provided from a search may not be available without a form of subscription to the specific publishers/journal.
      2. There is no way to search for only peer reviewed articles which forces individuals to make determinations concerning an articles credibility.
    • PubMed advantages
      1. One advantage of PubMed is that on the abstract page of an article, there is a provided list of related articles that makes it easier to find similar papers.
      2. One advantage of PubMed is that there are more filters when searching such as the type of article and the text availability.
    • PubMed disadvantages
      1. One disadvantage of PubMed is that there is no built-in feature that allows you to cite the articles you are using in different formats.
      2. One disadvantage of PubMed is that you are provided with fewer results than other search engines such as Google Scholar.
    • Web of Science advantages
      1. One advantage of Web of Science is that keywords from your search are highlighted in each of the article's titles, which might make finding relevant articles faster for the user.
      2. One advantage of Web of Science is that there is an additional search bar that allows the user to refine the results that they already have from an original keyword search.
    • Web of Science disadvantages
      1. One disadvantage of Web of Science is that it takes longer than other search engines to provide results to a keyword search.
      2. One disadvantage of Web of Science is that it is expensive for users to use and is only readily available to individuals associated with universities or other institutions that pay for the service.
  15. The choice of keywords has a large impact on the results that are provided. For example, using more than one keyword can refine your search results and can provide you with more relevant articles. Using specific keywords rather than broad terms can also provide you with better results, for example in this assignment the term env was used instead of just the word gene, which is more specific for the topic that we are researching.
  16. Citation of assigned article in APA format with DOI:
  17. Evaluating the source--the journal
    1. Who is the publisher of the journal? The American Society for Microbiology.
    2. Is the publisher for-profit or non-profit? For-profit

    9. What is the journal impact factor? 4.324
  18. Evaluating the source--the article
    1. Is the article a review or a primary research article? Primary research article.
    2. On what date was this article submitted? June 6th, 2013.
    3. On what date was the article accepted? August 20th, 2013.
    4. Did the article undergo any revisions before acceptance? No, this article did not undergo any revisions before acceptance.
    5. When was the article published? October 3rd, 2013.
    6. What is the approximate elapsed time between submission and publication? Four months.
    7. What are the institutions in which the authors are affiliated? The authors Fabio Zanini and Richard A. Neher are both affiliated with the Evolutionary Dynamics and Biophysics group and Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology.
    8. Yes, both of these authors have published other articles on this subject. I found this out by doing an author search for both of these individuals, which reveled that they have published papers that are related to this topic.
    9. Is there a conflict of interest for any of the authors? There does not appear to be a conflict of interest between the two authors of this article because they both are affiliated with the same institution and both have published papers that have investigated topics similar to this article.
    10. Read the abstract. Write 1-2 sentences about the relevance of this article to understanding the structure-function relationship of mutations in the HIV-1 gp120 protein.
      • In terms of the structure-function relationship of mutations in the HIV-1 gp120 protein, this article found that synonymous mutations that were located around gp120 loops in RNA were more likely to be lost than synchronous mutations that were located elsewhere on RNA strands.This observation of selection against synonymous mutations showed that this process slowed down the rate of evolution of the HIV-1 protein.
    11. Make a recommendation--based on the information you have gathered, should we do a journal club on this article? Why or why not?
      • Based on the information I have gathered about this article, I think that it would be worthwhile to do a journal club on this article because it investigated how synonymous mutations on the HIV-1 protein relate to the rate of evolution of the protein as a whole and I think that this is very relevant to the topic of the original paper by Markham et al.

Scientific Conclusion

What I learned from completing this exercise was that there are a lot more resources available that can be used to find scientific literature. Before this exercise, I thought that Google Scholar was one of the only search engines that could be used to find scientific literature, however after completing this exercise, I learned that there is also PubMed and Web of Science, each having their own benefits separate from Google Scholar. An important concept that I learned through this assignment was that other search engines can provide more efficient methods to finding the most relevant scientific literature for the topics that you are researching.

Acknowledgements

I worked with my homework partner Jack P. Menzagopian to complete this assignment. We texted each other on 3/25/2020 to discuss the pros and cons of using the different search engines.

I copied and modified the Week 8 assignment page.

Except for what is noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source.
