Also, at the end of the paper you should include a short Appendix, which will answer
three questions:
1. What were the databases used to find each article. (For example in the
Communicative Disorders Multisearch example shown below we searched ten
Data Bases but found most of our articles in PubMed.)
2. What was the search strategy which was used, i.e., the search words used in
each database to find the articles. (In the example below, we used the terms
“Television and (Language Development). We put the last two terms in
brackets so that the computer would link Television to both terms and not just
“Language.”)
3. Was each article cited an example of Primary or Secondary research? As
defined by the Library at UC Berkley, “Primary sources were either created
during the time period being studied, or were created at a later date by a
participant in the events being studied (as in the case of memoirs) and they
reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer. Primary sources
enable the researcher to get as close as possible to what actually happened
during an historical event or time period.”
“ A secondary source is a work that interprets or analyzes an historical event
or phenomenon. It is generally at least one step removed from the event.
Examples include scholarly or popular books and articles, reference books,
and textbooks.”
