Resources
"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." This concept is attributed to Issac Newton (1643-1727) and Bernard of Chartres (date of birth unknown, died after 1124). Bibliographic work is a corner stone of research and development and "tackling the risk to drown" (Blog 2 June 2018).
Ask, acquire, assess
[02 June 2018]
These are the key steps in bibliographic work (German: Literaturarbeit). I use the following criteria
- area: The discipline or field.
- quality: Of the resource. I take into account whether it is a website, a blog, a newspaper article or a scientific paper, a study or a book.
- relevance: For my work related to the topic and field.
- bibliography: List of references.
- tags: Keywords, some are already given by the authors. Others I ad myself.
Assessments in "quality", "relevance" and "bibliography":
5 excellent, 1 poor, not applicable (n.a.), not estimated (n.e.)
