The Luiss Library Discovery is your primary tool to locate and directly access documents available in the library. If you do not have a list of citations to start from, the search engine can help enrich your research by beginning with a simple keyword search. Identify your main keywords—in English or other languages—to narrow down the topic you are interested in.
What type of material are you looking for? Books, manuals, articles from periodicals, financial data, or statistics? Having a clear idea of the documents you need is essential for choosing the right database to search.
Open the discovery tool and remember to use Boolean operators, filters, and other categories suggested by the search engine to refine your search.
Once the results are displayed, review the information provided by the system.
Search results are initially sorted by relevance, but you can customize the order.
Each result can be:
- saved to a personal folder
- shared via its permalink
- exported as a bibliographic citation in a chosen format
- sent by e-mail
The discovery tool also indicates whether a publication is peer-reviewed and shows how many times it has been cited.
Cited in:
- Web Of Science which provides top journals for high quality literature retrieval
- Scopus which offers authoritative research and provides access to reliable metrics and analytical tools
- Altmetrics which shows how much online attention has been shown for this research.
The saved results are ready for citation export in the top right folder.
You can choose the citation style and then export it or proceed with a simple copy/paste.
