Choose databases for coverage, not by habit.
Consider your discipline, research question and database coverage. A platform may host publisher content; explain what role it plays in your search plan. Access depends on institutional subscriptions.
Hands-on task
For each selected source, note its platform/interface, coverage focus and plan status. The source rationale belongs in Step 4. Record each actual query, date, filter and result count only in the Search Log.
| Database / source | Platform / interface | Coverage focus | Status | Actions |
|---|
Keep records reproducible: record the database and interface, full query, search date, filters and result count in Execute & Refine. Do not invent counts; use “Not searched” until the search is run.
