So far, my research assignments have proven to be very helpful. The assignments have shown me which databases will be the most useful with my topic and I now know ways to narrow down my search to find appropriate articles with loads of information to use.

ProQuest Database – 1st Source used:

Gopisetty, S., Agarwala, S., Butler, E., Jadav, D., Jaquet, S., Korupolu, M., . . . Vogl, N. G. (2008). Evolution of storage management: Transforming raw data into information. IBM Journal of Research and Development, 52(4), 341-352. Retrieved from https://www.proquest.com/scholarly-journals/evolution-storage-management-transforming-raw/docview/220660771/se-2

The subject term I used was “information storage” which provided 4,259,262 results. Of course that is way too many for me to skim through but once I am able to narrow down the search I am destined to find more than enough articles to satisfy my research.

Citation trace:

Science direct database – citation source

Belk, M., Fidas, C., Germanakos, P., & Samaras, G. (2017). The interplay between humans, technology and user authentication: A cognitive processing perspective. Computers in Human Behavior, 76, 184-200.

I used both Science direct and Google scholar to do a citation trace on this article. Google Scholar showed there were 47 articles that cited my original. Science direct showed 35 cited articles within my original. I tried to find how many articles cited my original in Science direct, but I was unsuccessful in my search. Most of the 47 articles that cited my original were similar which didn’t really help me as I already had an article that addressed the topic of human, technology, and user authentication. I would rather use the searches from weeks 10 and 11 to complete my research.
