- The third task is to set up a search using Proquest for a specific journal and set up an email alert. I first sign in to my Library search page To search for sources of information on a particular topic, type in key words and tick the boxes to refine your search. I have searched for biochemistry AND education from a variety of source types – Blogs, Podcasts & Websites; Books; Conference Papers &Proceedings; Scholarly Journals. Hit the green Search button. Embark/Clarify – generate their research question, clarify their aims and work out how to carry them out. Find/Generate – locate information, collect data, search for other research, in databases and specialist resources, Evaluate/Reflect – Choose the right type of information, evaluate if its good information Organise/manage – Keep track of information, record search strategies, results, reference, note take Analyse/Synthesise – ways to analyse and synthesise information – research methods, hypothesise, experiments Communicate/apply – creating using range of mediums, scientific report, essay, blog post, popular media (need examples)
- This gives me too many results! I refine my search further and select Scholarly Journals from the last 12 Months, and I have identified a journal that I am particularly interested, so I select journal Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education and I’m going to set up alerts for that journal. Embark/Clarify – generate their research question, clarify their aims and work out how to carry them out. Find/Generate – locate information, collect data, search for other research, in databases and specialist resources, Evaluate/Reflect – Choose the right type of information, evaluate if its good information Organise/manage – Keep track of information, record search strategies, results, reference, note take Analyse/Synthesise – ways to analyse and synthesise information – research methods, hypothesise, experiments Communicate/apply – creating using range of mediums, scientific report, essay, blog post, popular media (need examples)
- Type the name of the journal and set the fields. I have used the journal Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education and I’ve limited my search to Publications and Scholarly Journals. Hit the green Search button. Embark/Clarify – generate their research question, clarify their aims and work out how to carry them out. Find/Generate – locate information, collect data, search for other research, in databases and specialist resources, Evaluate/Reflect – Choose the right type of information, evaluate if its good information Organise/manage – Keep track of information, record search strategies, results, reference, note take Analyse/Synthesise – ways to analyse and synthesise information – research methods, hypothesise, experiments Communicate/apply – creating using range of mediums, scientific report, essay, blog post, popular media (need examples)
- The search output. You can refine your search further if you like. Click on Save search/alert, then click Create alert in the drop-down options and fill in fields. Embark/Clarify – generate their research question, clarify their aims and work out how to carry them out. Find/Generate – locate information, collect data, search for other research, in databases and specialist resources, Evaluate/Reflect – Choose the right type of information, evaluate if its good information Organise/manage – Keep track of information, record search strategies, results, reference, note take Analyse/Synthesise – ways to analyse and synthesise information – research methods, hypothesise, experiments Communicate/apply – creating using range of mediums, scientific report, essay, blog post, popular media (need examples)
- Click green Create alert button. Embark/Clarify – generate their research question, clarify their aims and work out how to carry them out. Find/Generate – locate information, collect data, search for other research, in databases and specialist resources, Evaluate/Reflect – Choose the right type of information, evaluate if its good information Organise/manage – Keep track of information, record search strategies, results, reference, note take Analyse/Synthesise – ways to analyse and synthesise information – research methods, hypothesise, experiments Communicate/apply – creating using range of mediums, scientific report, essay, blog post, popular media (need examples)
- The alert is created and you can close the box. A confirmation email will be sent to you. You have 14 days to confirm whether or not you want the alerts to be sent. If you click Yes, I want to receive this alert. you will get this message: Embark/Clarify – generate their research question, clarify their aims and work out how to carry them out.
