Example: •industr*= industry, industries, industrial •col?r = color, colour, colar, colador... Search strategy laparoscopy keyhole robots Use of brackets and quotation marks “...” To search for an exact phrase or phrases that contain empty words (and, or, of, no, etc.), use quotation marks. e.g. “robotic surgery” “robot-assisted surgery” (...) To combine more than one search term in the same field using different Boolean operators, use brackets. e.g. (remote OR distance) AND surgery Search strategy laparoscopy keyhole robots 5. We assess the results Use the help of search tools ¿¡?? They help us to get the most out of the search Search on DiscoveryUPC DiscoveryUPC Remember to log in “My account” to access to all electronic resources, to use the loan service, etc. http://bibliotecnica.upc.edu/ DiscoveryUPC http://discovery.upc.edu/ Specialised databases Specialised databases Bibliographic databases are collections of scientific and technical publications, such as journal articles, book chapters, theses, conferences, etc. in which you can find quality specialised information. We distinguish between those that offer: ✔References to documents ✔Full text From Bibliotècnica we can access all the databases in a specific subject area, by name or type of access. Specialised databases Web of Science A web platform used to consult ISI databases. It is produced by Clarivate Analytics. FECYT is the institution that holds the licence. A multidisciplinary platform. Contains references from 1900 onwards and is updated weekly. Contains bibliographic information on over 22,000 journals. It has bibliographic references to conference proceedings, patents and journal summaries. It also includes citations, statistics on scientific output and assessment indicators: the impact factor and the H index. Specialised databases Access to databases from Bibliotècnica Web of Science Web of Science Select: Federation of Spain by FECYT Web of Science Select the institution: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Web of Science Search options Search history Chronological scope Web of Science Search options Search options in principal core collection of Web of Science: Documents: allows the search from the fields: subject, title, author, name of publication, year of publication… Cited references: to search for articles that cites an author’s work. Allows you to search by cited author, cited work, year of citation… Researchers: allows the most precise works’ search of an author. In 3 steps, it possible to distinguish the authors with same names. We can combine wordkeys with boolean operators AND, OR, NOT. We can use the proximity operators SAME (la misma frase) o NEAR/n (separados por N palabras). Podemos utilizar símbolos de truncamiento: *.?.$. Las “” recuperan la frase exacta. Web of Science Time frame: We can limit the search within the last five years, customize a range of years (eg 2002-2005) or select all years (1900-2023) Search options Web of Science Refine the results Sort by publication date, relevance, most cited papers, etc. In some cases, you can access the full text Filter by language, category, type of document, date of publication, open access, etc. Web of Science Save articles to a reference manager 1.
