Abstract

Information literacy programs must emphasise that the key to effective searching lies in four basic processes, planning, acting, recording, and critically reflecting. Importantly this includes reflecting on what has been retrieved and the searching steps undertaken. It is this reflection that is the key to information literacy development and maturity.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
