wheel!

Why do “we” need bibliographic database?

human knowledge is at your fingertip!

free. Medium level journal is

a good start.

Value-added At the minimum, it is not a duplication.

At the maximum, a Nobel-winning publication

Our publication should be a value-added to the literature

Today, Only the best, richest universities/institutions in the rich countries can have ‘TOTAL’ access to ‘the universal knowledge’ (bibliographic database)!

But, as time goes by, accessibility to us is getting and getting better.

And … Most of the time we don’t need the ‘TOTAL’ access.

TOTAL = Full text

How can we access bibliographic database?

How journal rating and impact factor can help our research?

Read a literature-survey article. Look up their reference list.

Read literature review section of an article. Look up their reference list.

Pick the most complete bibliographic database (multi-discipline accessible: google scholar, Scirus; economics: repec)

Searching literature =/= finding full text articles

How to search literature effectively

Don’t search topic, like “strategic management”. Focus on your keywords or variables in your research

questions. Research questions:

◦ How does inequality affect growth in Indonesia?◦ Does policies affect poverty?◦ To what extent unemployment drives poverty in developing

countries? Add methodology if necessary: Structural equation modeling,

multivariate analysis Save and filter your research. Identify whether a survey article is among them. Read the abstracts first, and analyze. Find the full text of what you think the most relevant.

Searching bibliographic database

FE UNAIR asked you to give a seminar about innovation and economic growth

BEM UNPAD invited you to talk about economic growth and poverty in Indonesia.

You don’t want to be like all other economist celebrities, you want to give a research-based talk.◦ Survey the literature◦ and your own analysis (if you have time, off course)

Or what about any of you who are doing research/thesis/dissertation?
