The cognitive calculus of foreign policy decision making: An experimental assessment. The Journal of Conflict Resolution, 44(4), pp. 447-471 • Example 2: Oksenberg, M.

  7. E-journal portal You can : 1. Search by journal title; 2. Check alphabetical list; 3. Browse journals by Subjects.

  8. Search strategies (1) • Identify main concepts • Write down your topic as a sentence, phrase, question or a series of descriptive words. Then pull out the main concepts from your topic statement. • E.g. Media and politics in Hong Kong media; politics; hong kong • Choice of search words (related key terms/ synonyms): • Brainstorm and use thesauri to identify additional keyword search terms corresponding to your main concepts. • media, journalism, etc. • politics, political, etc. • hong kong, hongkong, hk

  9. Search strategies (2) • Combine your keyword terms using Boolean operators (AND / OR ) and wildcards (e.g. * , !) • AND: searches records that mention both search terms, this narrows the search • e.g. media and hong kong (必須同時出現) • OR: finds records in which one or both search terms appear, this broadens the search • e.g. media or journalism (只要任何一個出現)

  10. Search strategies (3) • Wildcards / Truncation: retrieves all variant endings of that word • 1-Search: * • EBSCOhost: * • ProQuest: * • LexisNexis Academic: ! • OPAC: * e.g. journali* -- retrieves all words that start with JOURNALI such as journalist, journalism, journalistic, etc.

  11. Search strategies (4) • Quotation Marks “ ”: search the words as an exact phrase, this narrows down the search • e.g. “education reform”, “hong kong” • ( )Parentheses: gives priority and order in the search statement e.g. (media or journalism) and hong kong • Be prepared to narrow / expand your search results by using database-specific features / changing your keywords
