Encyclopedias

  • Wikipedia
    Very good to find the buzz words of your area. Be aware that many examiners find Wikipedia unreliable and do not approve of referencing it in reports.

Article databases

  • Web of Science
    Good search engine that include abstracts from a lot of influential journals. The ability to sort by number of citations are good to find the most important articles of your field. Be aware of any article with no citations if it is not fairly new.
  • Google Scholar
    Also a good search engine. Sometimes gives other results that complete those of Web of Knowledge.
