Research by Topic - Analyze Tool • Use when you want to knowwhat information is available • Creates a pick list histogram • Most useful • Index terms • Supplemental terms • CA Section Title (80 categories)
Research by Topic - Categorize • Use when you want to knowwhat information is available on Index terms and Substances • Creates a pick list histogram • Organized by categories • Index terms & Substances
Research by Topic - Refine Tool • Use when you already knowwhat information is available • Most useful: • Research Topic • Document Type (i.e. Reviews) • Author • Date
Analyze, Categorize, or Refine? • Analyze lets SFS tell you: What? How much? • Categorize is like Analyze But for Index terms & Substances • Refine is faster • Experienced SFS users use all three
