Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3   EBP 0334 short lesson, about 20 seconds

A Licensed Database Tells You What It Holds

Captions available

The idea

A licensed database lists the journals it indexes and documents how to search it, so a searcher knows what is being searched.

In practice

Checking a database's journal list to confirm it covers the field in question.

Where people slip

That transparency is what makes a gap findable. Without it you cannot tell a thin literature from a thin search.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
