1. Types of Sources: No less than five references are to be used. FIVE of these references MUST be from peer-reviewed sources, such as, peer-reviewed textbooks and journal articles as well. Make sure the information was published within the past 5 years.
2. Make a list of keywords related to your topic. Are there broader or narrower terms?
3. Create a search strategy using the Boolean operators, AND; OR. For example, (venous thrombosis OR DVT OR deep vein thrombosis) AND (pathology OR pathogenesis) When you are searching in PubMed, make sure to put synonyms for the SAME concept in parentheses, and capitalize the Boolean operators, AND, OR.
4. Remember to use the appropriate limits (e.g. peer-reviewed, date range, English language, study type, etc.) in the databases. The limits may be somewhat different, depending on what database(s) you search.
Sonography journals and other relevant medical journals are indexed in several databases. The following list shows the differences between journal coverage in PubMed and Web of Science. Note: The list doesn't include all sonography journals -- just a few to illustrate the difference. In the examples that are listed, you will see the differences between PubMed and Web of Science. After you graduate, you will still be able to access PubMed since it is a free database. Web of Science is a subscription database, so you will not have access to it after you graduate.
