  1. KCDCC DECO3008 Searching the Research Literature Fekete A. (2008). INFO4990: Information Technology Research Methods, Searching in the Research Literature http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~info4990/2007s1/lectures/LiteratureSearch.pdf

  2. KCDCC Why? “If I have seen further, it is only because I have stood on the shoulders of giants” attributed to Sir Isaac Newton

  3. KCDCC so as not to repeat what exists Why?

  4. KCDCC Why? • demonstrate that you know field • justifies your research • how work differs from previous work • how work connects to previous work

  5. KCDCC The Literature • helps in finding research problem • identify gap in knowledge • can help solve a problem • help find a method • provide quotable evidence • demonstrates importance e.g. “our performance is better than [Cite]”

  6. KCDCC Reading the Literature • keep annotated bibliography • complete incl pages and dates • detailed notes on each work • use original sources • don’t rely on second hand summaries

  7. KCDCC Referencing • use tools • e.g. EndNote • be accurate • precisely as in published paper • title – author • don’t abbreviate etc • use standard formats • e.g. APA

  8. KCDCC Getting a Paper • libraries • inter-library • ask Librarian • from author • online • Online catalogues • Publisher’s site • Google Scholar • Citeseer (scientific) • just Google

  9. KCDCC Web References • for work only on Web • as distinct from finding a copy on the Web • referencing • URL • date accessed (Web information can change) • author, title

  10. KCDCC Finding Papers • supervisor • will point you to some • searching • by topic • links from references • asking in community • community publications

  11. KCDCC Communities • targeting work • work should be targeted at a community • decide on community • look at authors • find their websites • look at their students • current projects • conference / journals • especially recent

  12. KCDCC Referencing Styles “To understand the underlying elements of design creativity, researchers concerned about design and cognitive processes have analyzed design processes under various experimental conditions (Goldschmidt, 1991; Finke et al., 1992; Goel, 1995; Cross, 1997; Kavakli and Gero, 2001; Van der Lugt, 2001; Badke-Schaub, 2004; Bonnardel and Marmeche, 2004, 2005; Goldschmidt and Tatsa, 2005; Kvan and Gao, 2006).” References … Bonnardel, N. and Marmeche, E. (2004). Evocation processes by novice and expert designers: towards stimulating analogical thinking, Creativity and Innovation management, 13(3):176-186. Bonnardel, N. and Marmeche, E. (2005). … Cross, N. (1997)…. Finke, R. A., Ward, T. B. and Smith, S. M. (1992). Creative cognition: theory, research, and application, MIT Press, Cambridge, MA. Goel, V.
