Electrical Engineering Technology: Keyword Alerts and EndNote
Keep in Mind:
Creating keyword alerts – some suggestions:
Username: use your okey email address
Password: consider an 8 digit password, with uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one number 0-9, and at least one character such as #,$,%,&,* For example 33$$Ab56. Use the same password for Compendex, Ebsco, and Web of Science
Set the frequency for the alerts at one week.
Boolean Operators
Boolean AND – restrict the number of articles found
Boolean OR – increase the number of articles, Boolean NOT – restricts
Full-text availability – electronic, print or Interlibrary Services
Truncation operator * = stem of word and variant endings ing, ed, ion, etc
model* yields model, models modeled, modeling
simulate* yields simulation, simulated, simulates
Compendex: Refine search>Limit By>Treatment Type>Literature Review
Compendex: creating keyword alerts
place the close captioned video here
Literature Reviews in Engineering: multiple databases and multiple search terms
Compendex
natural language processing and robotics and modeling > 323 results
Expand the search using synonyms, and truncation*:
natural language processing: natural language processing or nlp
robotics: robotics
modeling: modeling or simulation or algorithm
Truncation: model* or simulat* or algorithm*
(natural language processing or nlp) AND robotics AND (model* or simulat* or algorithm*)
> 497 results
Large number of results useful for keyword alerts, also if I need to narrow a search by a specific research interest, then there are some results to work with for this purpose.
Full text availability: electronic, print, ILS.
Refine search>Limit By>Treatment Type>Literature Review 0 results
Remove model* or simulat* or algorithm* from the search > 4 results
Literature Review – most articles have a large number of references
Change from Literature Review to General Review > 53 results
