When you retrieve search results in a database, we highly recommend that you:
- Select any individual search results that are of potential value to your work.
- Save multiple back-up copies of those selected results in various locations (e.g. email, USB stick, hard drive). Even experienced researchers can lose information and you need good records of all the sources of information you use in order to avoid plagiarism!
- When you save a result in a database, you save its core bibliographic details (title, author, journal, keywords and possibly an abstract) rather than its full content.
How to select and save results in SPORTDiscus:
- Click/select the folder icon on the right-hand side of each individual result(s) of interest. The icon appears next to the magnifying glass icon. Once all your results of interest are selected, click the other folder icon (located along the top of the screen).
