A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Academic Databases for Research

In the digital age, academic databases have become essential tools for researchers and students alike. With vast collections of scholarly articles, books, and other resources, these databases provide a wealth of information on various subjects. However, navigating these databases can be overwhelming for those unfamiliar with their functionalities. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of using academic databases effectively for your research needs.

Understanding Academic Databases

Before delving into the practical aspects of using academic databases, it’s crucial to understand what they are and how they differ from other sources of information. Academic databases are online platforms that host scholarly content such as journal articles, conference papers, dissertations, and more. Unlike search engines like Google or Wikipedia, which prioritize popular or general content, academic databases focus on peer-reviewed research conducted by experts in their respective fields.

These databases usually require a subscription or access through an institutional affiliation like a university or library. By restricting access to authenticated users only, they ensure the quality and reliability of the content available. Some well-known academic databases include JSTOR, ScienceDirect, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library.

Selecting the Right Database

With numerous academic databases available today, it’s essential to choose the most appropriate one for your research topic. Each database specializes in certain disciplines or subject areas; therefore, selecting a database that aligns with your research interest is paramount.

Start by identifying keywords related to your research topic. These keywords will help you narrow down your search when exploring different databases’ offerings. For example, if you’re researching climate change impacts on biodiversity conservation strategies in marine ecosystems, relevant keywords could include “climate change,” “biodiversity conservation,” “marine ecosystems,” and so on.

Once you have identified your keywords and subject area(s), consult with librarians or experienced researchers who can guide you in selecting the most relevant databases. They can suggest databases that specialize in your field or those that cover a broader range of disciplines.

Conducting Effective Searches

After selecting the appropriate academic database(s), it’s time to conduct effective searches to find the information you need. Most databases offer advanced search options, allowing users to refine their queries and obtain more accurate results.

Start by entering your keywords into the search bar. To enhance your search results, consider using Boolean operators such as “AND,” “OR,” and “NOT” to combine or exclude specific terms. For example, using “climate change AND biodiversity conservation” will retrieve articles that contain both terms, while “climate change NOT marine ecosystems” will exclude articles related to marine ecosystems from your results.

Additionally, take advantage of filters and limiters provided by the database. These options allow you to narrow down your search based on publication date, author, journal name, and other criteria. Utilizing these features will help you focus on the most recent and relevant research within your field.

Evaluating and Accessing Sources

Once you have obtained a list of potentially relevant sources from your search, it’s essential to evaluate their quality before incorporating them into your research. Academic databases often provide information about each source’s credibility by displaying metrics such as citation counts, impact factors, and peer review status.

Consider factors such as the author’s expertise and affiliations, publication date (preferably recent), journal reputation (if applicable), and relevance to your research question when assessing sources. Additionally, check for any potential biases or conflicts of interest that may affect the objectivity of the research findings.

After evaluating sources for their suitability and reliability, access them through the database’s provided links or follow instructions for accessing full-text versions if available. Some articles may be openly accessible while others may require additional permissions or subscriptions.

In conclusion, academic databases are invaluable resources for researchers seeking reliable and up-to-date information. By understanding the basics of academic databases, selecting the right database(s) for your research, conducting effective searches, and evaluating and accessing sources, you can maximize the benefits these platforms offer. So, dive into the world of academic databases and unlock a treasure trove of knowledge for your research endeavors.

Campus Roskilde University

A vibrant and green campus.

Life at the university is more than attending classes and conducting research. On campus there are many facillities for sports and social time together, indoors and outdoors.

Two multi courts, soccer, disc golf course, nature trails along lakes, streams and fields, a gym, innovation workshops, a student house, a canteen, a cinema, etc. are all places to meet for social moments.

There are many clubs that you can choose to engage in, from nature conservation to choir to robot building. And you can create your own club - perhaps an evening of ignite-speak, build-a-city garden or performance poetry. Campus can be what you make of it.

Roskilde University Library

Roskilde University Library (RUb) is located by the main entrance and is an open, bright and welcoming library. RUb is specially designed to be a workplace for students and staff at Roskilde University - and, in the best possible way, to help them with their studies.

The Student House RUC

The Student House RUC is an open and inclusive gathering place for all students at RUC, where you can meet, organize events and activities and meet for social and academic interaction. 

The association Student House RUC is based on voluntary engagement in which students work together to operate a house that gathers and engages all students at Roskilde University. There is open access for all, with benefits for students with valid student ID.

The Student House RUC is run by volunteers, organized in a board, a finance committee, four different subcommittees and a bar and cafe.

Trekroner HUB

On Trekroner Hub you can skate, play basketball, petanque, table tennis and walk on slacklines. There is also a large patio area where you can barbecue and there are pavilions, for instance to be used for project work. Trekroner Hub was created in 2014.

Greenhouse-meetings, basket court and wild flowers

We are opening up the university campus to more wild nature. We want to provide better living conditions for insects, wild bees, butterflies, small animals and birds by bringing in the natural wild landscape. That's why we have planted meadow grass with wild herbs and flowers. We are also planting native species of flowering perennials, colourful climbing plants and different types of trees.  Enjoy your lunch at the chairs and tables or take shelter in one of the greenhouses equipped with lighting and WiFi, where you can also have your meetings. You can also challenge your fellow students to a game of table tennis outside, or even use the basket court for a game of basket, soccer or hockey. The court is equipped with electrical lights, which you can activate by scanning the QR-code, by the entrance.  

The canteen

In the middle of the campus in building 01 is Grab'N Go, which is a canteen specifically targeted at educational institutions and with a sustainable mindset.
