6. Search strategy: analyse your research topicWhat is the topic?Background reading:Gaining an overview of the topic Identify potential search terms/keywords Check eg. previous dissertations, textbooks, ...Look-up definitions (eg. textbooks, dictionaries, encyclopedias...)What are you being asked to do?Make sure you are at the same wavelength as your supervisor!

7. Search strategy: identify the concepts Split your topic into conceptsTopic 1: Exploring mice as model organisms for cultivating corn on Mars. - Concept 1: mice - Concept 2: corn cultivation - Concept 3: Mars Topic 2: The use of genetically modified bumblebees to shoot satelite photographs for earth visualization. - Concept 1: genetically modified bumblebees - Concept 2: satelite photographs - Concept 3: earth visualization

8. Search strategy: FO-RE-ST-LOGThe concepts are the keywords Are they enough?Example: myocardial infarction = heart attack = cardiovascular strokeTherefore: Use FOrms or variants of the keywordsUse RElated termsUse Synonymous TermsUse the Ladder Of GeneralizationFOREST LOG scheme

9. Search strategy: FO-RE-ST-LOGExample: satelite photographsFOrms: forms or variants of the keywordsphotograph, photographs, photo, photos, photographic, photography, ...RElated terms: words often found in connection with the keywordsgraphic, planetary visualization, planetary mapping, earth pictorial, KH-11, ...Synonymous Terms: words with a similar meaning as the keywordsImage, picture, snapshot, ...Ladder Of Generalization: continuum from very specific (KH-11) to more general (satelite photograph) to even more general (earth image) to very abstract (planetary visualization)

10. Search strategy: phrasesTwo or more words to form a single conceptSome databases search automatically on phrase other on the individual wordsUse ‘ or “ (depending on database)Helps to narrow your searchExample: “bone marrow transplantation”

11. Search strategy: truncation and wildcardsTruncation: abbreviation of a search term to its stemMost common truncation symbol is the wildcard ** represents any group of characters, including no characterRight-hand truncation most common (check database)Example: photo* (photo, photos, photographic, photograph, ...)Left-hand truncationExample: *biosis (abiosis, aerobiosis, anabiosis, parabiosis, symbiosis, ...)Used to broaden a search

12. Search strategy: truncation and wildcardsInternal truncation:Used to overcome differences in spellingDatabase dependent? represents a single characterExample: l?chee (lichee or lychee), defen?e (defense or defence), ...$ represents zero or one characterExample: colo$r (color or colour), level$ing (leveling or levelling), ...Be aware of differences in terminology:Example: primary/elementary school, cornflour/cornstarch, chemist/drugstore, ...

13. Search strategy: combine keywordsBoolean operators: for combining keywordsUse brackets ( ) to combine operatorsNOT > AND > OR

14. Search strategy: proximityProximity operatorsDatabase dependentNEAR/xExample: mouse NEAR MartianExample: mouse NEAR/15 MartianOrder of priority:NEAR/xNOTANDORExample: mice OR rat NEAR/10 Martian ≠ (mice OR rat) NEAR/10 Martian (WOS= 1 700 000, 9)

15. Search strategy: a search stringTopic: Exploring mice as model organisms for cultivating corn on Mars. Concept 1: mouse OR mice OR Mus OR (“Mus musculus” OR “laboratory mouse” OR “swiss mouse”)ANDConcept 2: (corn OR maize OR “Zea maize” OR teosinte) AND (cultivation OR planting OR farming OR horticulture)ANDConcept 3: Mars OR “Red Planet”

16. Search strategy: exercisesHave a close look at your topic or research question:indicate the keywordsdefine for each keyword alternative search terms: synonyms, broader terms, narrower terms, related termscombine them by using the Boolean operators: AND, OR and NOT. 16

17. Search strategy: general guidelinesKeep a search log (make your search string in Notepad or Word).Make an account for each database and save your searchContinue to add keywords, synonyms, ... and search phrases based on the results of your early searching.Search within a database relevant to your topic.Snowball!: Backwards in time: check the referencelist of the publication.Forward in time: check the articles that have cited the publication.

18. Search strategy: extra tipsToo many results:Create search phrases of about two to six wordsDon’t be more general than you need to beExample: author – “Thomas Vandendriessche” not VandendriesscheLimit by date, document type, study type, language (filters database)Remove a term (synonym, related term)Add an extra concept using AND(Use NOT for elimination of an aspect you are not interested in)

19. Search strategy: extra tipsToo little results:Is your database relevant to your topic?Check for spelling mistakes or other errors in entering the search termsAdd a synonym, related term for a concept using ORAre the Boolean operators used correctly?Use truncations/wildcards to find variations of your termsSnowball backward and forward in time (check for keywords)

93. PlagiarismDefinition: Plagiarism is using someone else's idea or work as your own without acknowledging their work.Is a part of Scientific fraude KU Leuven93

94. PlagiarismSometimes, an original definition or explanation is stated so well in the original text. Then you can copy this part.But:you have to refer to the original text and author!you have to put the citation between quotation marks ("").Remember: you also have to refer to earlier relevant own work!94

95. PlagiarismMay I paraphrase parts of an original text?A qualitative scientific text is based on: own ideas and own researchinformation from other sources.But the difficult part is to combine ideas from other sources with your own work. So you paraphrase or summarize other authors' work, while referring to the original author. Remember: you'll also have to refer to your own, previous work when relevant!95

96. PlagiarismMay I (literally) translate an original text? When you write a text in a different language, you certainly have to be alert.Literal translation? Then you have to add quotation marks and the original author. Not a literal translation? Then you only have to refer to the author.96

97. PlagiarismMay I copy figures, tables, codes or other elements from an original source? You cannot just copy figures, audio / video fragments, tables, codes or structures. Again, you state the original source and author.97

98. Reference styles: how?Now you know why you have to refer, but how? in the text: in the first sentence based on your source in the bibliographyat the end of your documentall references usedRemember: you only add a reference at the end op a paragraph, when this sentence is actually at the end of that paragraph!98

99. Reference styles: different stylesNummerical system: example: IEEEin-text: a numbere.g.: According to Deboosere (5), 2020 is the hottest year in the 21st century up and until now.in the bibliography: listed in chronological order based on the numbers in the text. Author-year system: example: APAin-text: author/organisation and the publication yeare.g.: According to Deboosere (KMI,2020), 2020 is the hottest year in the 21st century up and until now. in the bibliography: listed in alphabetical order on the name of the author/organisationFootnote system in-text: a footnote underneath the text, at the bottom of the pagee.g.: According to Deboosere³, 2020 is the hottest year in the 21st century up and until now. in the bibliography : listed in alphabetical order on the name of the author.99
