Notes de l'éditeur
- In LINC, search the journal title. The citation style used for this slide is the American Psychological Association (APA).
- In LINC, search the book title. The citation style used for this slide is the American Psychological Association (APA).
- How can you tell if the source is more authoritative than another? Look out for the author's name and credentials (degrees, achievements, designations, etc.), the sources used by the author, and presence/absence of peer review (where one’s work is checked by equals (peers) to ensure it meets specific criteria before it is published).
- Research is an iterative process, as indicated by the dotted lines.
- Two commonly-used boolean operators are AND & OR . AND is used to indicate that both terms must be present. OR is used to indicate that either terms may be present. You can type them in lowercase in LINC or the database (most databases recognise Boolean operators, but do check if you’re not sure). In this powerpoint, they appear in uppercase for emphasis.
- ( ) are used just like in algebra: commands inside the innermost parentheses are executed first.
- If you search language planning and singapore , you’ll get results on not just Singlish/Singapore English but other languages, such as Mandarin.
- If you are interested in this article, you’ll need to check LINC+/LINC to see whether the library subscribes to the journal Language Problems and Language Planning , and if so, whether it has volume 27, issue 1.
- If the library subscribes to the electronic version of a journal, you will see the hyperlinks “View the electronic version (full-text) via…” Our full text subscriptions are usually for the current 5 years or slightly more. Click on the hyperlinked CL Current Journals to check which issues are shelved at Current Journals.
- Check with your lecturer or tutor for the citation style that you should be using. Whether you use LSA, MLA or another citation style, the key point is consistency!
