PsychINFO search part II
In the last post we established that the preferred term in the PsychINFO controlled vocabulary is "Websites."
Unfortunately, 3,122 documents in PsychoINFO use this subject term. Although all the results incorporated websites, I observed that often the characteristics or design of the site were not at issue in the studies. So I added 'design' as a keyword in the abstract field. Now my results look like this:
We can see that this third result looks promising. Even if the particular article does not turn out to be useful, its metadata may lead to useful revisions of the search. However, Lin et al did turn out to be a significant relevant result, so I stopped my search here.
