Finding Scientific Literature Step by Step (FSH SSS)

Finding Scientific Literature Step by Step (FSH SSS)

Introduction

Zoeken

This module is intended for students who have just started their university studies and are searching for scholarly literature for the first time.

In this module, you will learn:

  • From topic to research question: how do you do that?

  • From research question to search query: how do you do that?

  • How can you search effectively in scientific literature databases?

  • How do you select, from the list of search results, the publications that are relevant to you?

  • How do you use literature correctly in your essay or paper?

The module takes about 60 minutes.

Would you like to take a break while working through the e-learning module and continue later? Then make sure to note where you left off, as the system will not save your progress.

If the module freezes at any point, try using a different browser.
