What is a journal?
A journal is a scholarly publication that contains articles on a specific topic or discipline, usually written by industry experts such as researchers and academics.
What makes it different from other academic publications?
• Peer reviewed• Original research• Focusses on current development (often most
up-to-date research)• Published periodically (weekly, monthly,
annually)

Finding journal articles:
Known searching:
Looking for a specific title, knowing exactly in which
journal was published along with the volume, issue and
pages numbers.
Example:
Mullholland, AJ. 2005. Modelling enzyme reaction
mechanisms, specificity and catalysis. Drug Discovery
Today. 10(20): 1393 – 1402.
Unknown searching:
Looking for articles on a specific topic or subject across various journals.
Usually done by searching databases.
Example:
Molecular Modelling of Enzymatic Reaction
![Page 7: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Finding known items:
When looking for known
items, you can use UCT
libraries’ e-journal portal
which can be found under
search and find from the UCT
libraries home page.
Simply search for the Journal
you are looking for.
![Page 8: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Always look for the
availability of the full text
item, in this case, it is
available Elsevier
Science Direct from 1999
onwards

Google Scholar
• You can also search for
known items using
Google Scholar,
• Always remember to
sign in using the off-
campus login to
enhance your results
and access.

• If you cannot access the article from Google Scholar, use
the SFX@UCT link to gain access to journal articles
through UCT libraries’ e-journal portal
![Page 11: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
UCT Libraries Catalogue (ALEPH) • For results that we do not have access to through the e-journal portal, have a look at the library catalogue to check for a hardcopy of the journal
• You can also request a journal from the Inter Library Loans department from the UCT libraries home page. Simply hover over services and click on Inter Library Loans

Unknown item searching:When searching for articles in a specific discipline and on a specific
topic, using database to find the information you are looking for
Google Scholar:
Stand on the shoulders of giants.Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly
literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines
and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions,
from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories,
universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find
relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

Analysis of heavy metals in wastewater
Write down your topic.
Then break it up into CONCEPTS.
Boolean Searching
![Page 14: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Think of KEY WORDS that describe each of your concepts :
CONCEPT 1• ANALYSIS• DETERMINATION• MEASUREMENT
CONCEPT 2• HEAVY METALS• COPPER• NICKEL• LEAD
CONCEPT 3• WASTEWATER• EFFLUENT
Analysis of heavy metals in wastewater
![Page 15: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Use Boolean operators to structure your search query:
THERE ARE 3 BOOLEAN OPERATORS:
AND
OR NOT
![Page 16: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Use AND to combine different concepts :
heavy metals AND wastewater
Articles on heavy metals in waste water
Using AND will make your results smaller
The INTERSECTION of your two sets will contain articles dealing with BOTH concepts
![Page 17: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use OR to enter keywords for the SAME concept (can usually be regarded as synonyms)
heavy metals OR nickel OR copper
Using OR will increase the number of results
![Page 18: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The NOT operator reduces the number of results
metals NOT lead
Use NOT to get rid of unwanted results
The COMPLEMENT contains NO articles
on the unwanted topic
![Page 19: CEM3005W Library practical 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ef5ff81a28abf2128b45a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Searching Continued…
“” Quotation marks keep search phrases together Eg, “heavy metals”
() Brackets keep concepts together Eg, (“waste water” OR effluent)
Search statement will look something like this:
“heavy metals” AND (“waste water” OR effluent)

Expanding your references:
Research is a continuous cycle built on earlier research, an ongoing network of references that relate and refer to other research.
Important to look at reference lists of articles read and used to expand your literature search.
