Food and Nutrition

An effective literature review is always built on the foundation of a high quality literature search, one that is comprehensive and systematic. For any new project, a literature search is a crucial early step in the research process. Finding some literature on a question is usually easy; finding the right literature, and all of the most relevant literature for a solid literature review, is harder.

Through explanatory notes and practical, step-by-step guidance, we aim to help you understand how to effectively plan and carry out your literature searches.

The guide has been reviewed by the FSTA advisory board comprising eminent researchers worldwide in the sciences of food and health. 

Your Guide is simply superb.  Many thanks for a great resource which I will be promoting with advanced stage degree students in food science agriculture and veterinary medicine here in UCD.  It is the best guide I have come across in some time so many thanks for this "Toolkit".  This will be invaluable for UCD - Students, those new to research, and those who need a refresher in literature searching.

I reviewed the LibGuide site. I think it will be really useful for students who need to do literature research.
