Bibliographic Work / Literaturarbeit

Ask, acquire, assess

[02 June 2018, updated 11 November 2024]

These are the key steps in bibliographic work (German: Literaturarbeit). I propose the following criteria

  • area: The discipline or field.
  • quality: Of the resource. To take into account whether it is a website, a blog, a newspaper article or a scientific paper, a study or a book.
  • relevance: For the researcher's work related to the topic and field.
  • bibliography: List of references.
  • tags: Keywords, some are already given by the authors. Others to ad by the researcher. 

Assessments in "quality", "relevance" and "bibliography":

5 excellent, 1 poor, not applicable (n.a.), not estimated (n.e.)
