How to do effective literature searches
Description
The "Best Practice for Literature Searching" guide, created by Carol Hollier, a former Senior Information Literacy and Outreach Manager at IFIS Publishing, offers comprehensive and systematic strategies for conducting effective literature searches. It is designed for researchers in food and health sciences, providing step-by-step guidance on defining research questions, managing references, developing search strategies, and critical appraisal of literature. This resource is intended for a diverse audience, including students, researchers, and librarians, and aims to enhance the quality of literature reviews by ensuring that users can efficiently locate relevant and trustworthy information. Additional contributions come from Dr. Helena Korjonen (University of Luxembourg) and Dr. Mina Kalantar (Food Research & Regulatory Consultant), with peer reviews conducted by the FSTA advisory board.
