How I am going to use this: 1) Set up a google search for my key terms. 2) Research and re-post information daily. 3) Summarize information weekly into my own words and publish.
I think this is great - it's really helpful to define a research plan as you search. However, I will mention that searching in Google is a little different than scholarly databases. Some strategies still work (like quotation marks) and others are a bit different. You may want to read this article (written by Samuel Gibbs for The Guardian) that focuses on search strategies for Google: www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/15/how-to-use-search-like-a-pro-10-tips-and-tricks-for-google-and-beyond
i'm a web researcher, where i'll be given a task to find retail companies in UK, that has annual revenue about $5-10 M. But i don't know to find which type of companies has such exact revenue. Pls put a video regards that..
Hi there. This is a great question. Unfortunately I won't be able to make a video for this topic due to other time commitments, but I recommend that you contact someone at a public library for help. Their research services are typically free to everyone, and they can often assist you via email as well as in person.
I subscribe to a video tool called GoAnimate. It can definitely take some time to create your videos (since there are so many features), but overall it's an excellent product! I've used it in my teaching (as an alternative to PowerPoint) and also as a personal presentation tool for conferences (I will be speaking, but have a GoAnimate video playing in the background as I talk about my topic).
Hi. I'm not sure what you mean by a Google guide. The strategies in this video are for scholarly databases. Google has its own searching techniques which are easy to find online (I posted a link to one of these resources in the comment below this one). Does that help?
Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what you mean by "modern search engines". If you're referring to web search tools such as Google, I would agree with you. However, these strategies weren't designed to work in those settings. The strategies I talked about in the video are most useful for finding research in scholarly databases (Scopus, SportDiscus, ERIC, etc.). Hope that helps to clear things up.
The video is intended to be more of a starting point for people who are newer to searching for research. While the strategies shown are both practical and effective, there are definitely other ways to expand your searching expertise beyond what's covered here.
@@PHAD-tc2ic I completely agree. I've often thought about making additional videos that accommodate different stages of learning/different skills, but it's been tough to find time. Definitely something on my radar though!
