Literature Reviews and Database Searching for Social and Behavioral Sciences
You’ve been assigned to write a literature review in the social sciences...but how do you get started? What kinds of literature reviews are there? Where should you search? How do you know what search terms to use? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this interactive workshop. By the end of this session, you’ll be able to
-
Identify different types of literature reviews
-
Find relevant databases
-
Create effective search terms
This workshop will focus on research in the social and behavioral sciences, such as education, communication, human development, psychology, and sociology.
