Tips for Searching in Any EBSCO Database

Contents (click on items to jump ahead), how to access ebsco subject databases at ud, before you start searching, keep in mind . . ., identifying keywords, building search strings, example search string, suggested subject terms.

Using Limiters

Searching Multiple EBSCO Databases

Linking to Full Text using "Find It!" and Interlibrary Loan

Save your search in a document, export your results to a citation management software (Endnote, Zotero, etc.), and create a custom account in the database:

By saving your search, your strategy will be reproducible for another time and properly documented.

Explore options and instruction for  citation management here , and find tips on how to export results.

Before beginning your search, you will need to identify keywords related to your topic. These can be single words or phrases and should be seen as the most important words describing your topic. For example, if you are trying to find scholarly articles on the inequities resulting from climate change , you should be able to pull out two topics that result in keywords:  the inequities resulting from climate change . The other words in the phrase can go away, so that you're simply left with the highlighted words:

climate change

The next step is to consider that there are many related terms (i.e. rising temperatures for climate change) and/or synonyms for these two topics. Broadening your search terms can often be achieved by scanning:

Your initial research questions

In-class readings

Background research articles from encyclopedias, news articles, popular magazines, etc.

Bibliographies found at the end of books and articles

Specialized vocabulary or terms authors in the field of study are using

Think of related, broader, and narrower terms connected to each of the key concepts.

It can be helpful to use quotes around keyword phrases (two or more keywords for a single concept) to ensure that the phrase is searched instead of each word individually (e.g. climate change can be searches as "climate change").  

Once you have identified keywords, use the following techniques to build search strings for searching in library catalogs, databases, and search engines to quickly find more relevant sources to use in your research:

In the example of the inequities resulting from climate change , the search terms can be combined as:

inequit* AND "climate change"

When these two keywords are searched from EBSCO's Academic Search Complete advanced search page, it retrieves ~350 results (as pictured below)

This compares to how the same database reacts when the topic is searched in a similar manner to a Google keyword search ("inequities resulting from climate change"). Note that this does not work well and brings up over 1,500 results (see screenshot). If you are trying to identify the body of research on the inequities of climate change, then having to sift through 1,500+ results is far more inefficient than having a list of 350 results.

• In addition to keywords, subject headings (known as "Subject Terms" in EBSCO databases) can be helpful. Subject Terms are controlled terms--meaning a single term applies to a single concept, regardless of how many synonyms there are. Another way to think of them are as a standardized set of terms that bring consistency to the searching process. In EBSCO databases, you can add a SU delimiter by selecting the drop down menu in the advanced search feature (see screenshot below). 
• For example, if you wanted to locate research on the inequities of climate change in Academic Search Complete, you would do so by changing the delimiter field dropdown menu to "SU Subject Terms" (as circled below) to add in a term that defines one or more of the search concepts. In this case, the topic of climate change is selected for the Subject Term search:

• When using the Subject Terms delimiter, the number of results are often far lower than regular searches. In the example above using the Subject Terms delimiter, 169 results are retrieved from Academic Search Complete, whereas without the Subject Term delimiter, 305 results are retrieved. This occurs because subject headings/terms are only applied to results when the subject is one of the primary focuses of the publication. As a result, searching this way typically helps to weed out results that are not relevant. For each search result in EBSCO, subject terms can be identified within the item record (as circled below).

Subject terms can also be useful if you want to locate a certain type of study. For example, if you want to read qualitative research on vocabulary instruction, one search term could be "explicit vocabulary instruction" and the SU delimiter could be "Qualitative Research".

Other useful Subject Terms for limiting the type of study include: 

Qualitative research

Quantitative research

Semi-structured interviews

Observation

Experimental Groups

Control Groups

Pretests Posttests

Statistical Analysis

In addition to Subject Limiters, you can use the following field tags in any EBSCO database to specify where the database looks for the search term. To do so, there are two options. The first is to type the field tag and then the search term into the EBSCO search box (e.g. TI Islam looks for Islam in the title). The second option is to use the drop down menu directly beside each search box within the advanced search page of any EBSCO database. Here are some useful limiters:

TI  — Searches the Title field

AB  — Searches the Abstract field

AB OR TI  — Searches the Abstract field and the Title Field at the same time 

AU  — Searches the Author field

Using Limiters (also known as "filters")

You can use limiters in databases to narrow your results. After performing a database search, you can find the limiters on the left hand side of the screen. Be sure to scroll down so that you view all the limiter options!

To access the complete list of options for limits, click on the “Advanced Search” link beneath the search boxes at the top of the page.

Warning:  filters such as species, ages, text availability, and subject discipline may unnecessarily exclude articles you want to see. When you apply these filters, you are using controlled vocabulary or database indexing to exclude articles. This is not always a reliable method of excluding articles.

You can search multiple databases at once. In an EBSCO database (as shown below), click  Choose Databases  to select resources that may be relevant to your research.  NOTE  that the image below is simply a picture and does not have search functionality.

Some databases you may want to search simultaneously are: Academic Search Complete, APA PsycInfo, Criminal Justice Abstracts with Full Text, Legal Collection, National Criminal Justice Reference Service Abstracts, Political Science Complete, and/or SocINDEX.

Accessing Full Text, "FIND IT!" & Interlibrary Loan Requests (ILL)

When Full Text is Available:

In many cases, the full text of a search result will be immediately available through a PDF icon and a link stating "PDF Full Text" (see below) or "Full Text via . . ." There might also be the option for "Linked Full Text" (see below). All of these links provide immediate access.

When Full Text  Might  be Available:

In other cases, a search result may not provide you with immediate access to an article (meaning we may  have access). In these cases, you should see a yellow  Find It! icon (as pictured below). Clicking this link will allow you to see available all options for accessing the full text.

After you click the yellow Find It link, there's a strong chance that the full text will still be immediately available. If this is the case, you will see one or more links/icons towards the upper, left side of the screen under the phrase: " Get Full Text. " Click on any of the available links/icons in this section (see screenshot below for an example). Once selected, the link should open a new tab for the service hosting the article, where you will find a PDF link.

When Full Text Needs to be Requested through Interlibrary Loan:

If an article is not immediately available in print or online, you will see the message " Request this title from another library via Interlibrary Loan " (see screenshot below). This means you can order the article (or thesis, dissertation, book chapter, etc.) for free through the library's Interlibrary Loan service (ILL). After you select the link, a new tab will open to UD's Interlibrary Loan page . Follow the directions below to login and request the article.

Selecting the link circled above will prompt you to authenticate with your UD username and password (the same credentials you use for Porches). Once you've authenticated, you will see an auto-populated form with the information for the item you are requesting (title, author, ISBN, year, etc). Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Submit request," as circled here:

After the request has been submitted, you will receive an email when the item is ready. For journal articles, book chapters, theses/dissertations, or news articles this will mean a PDF will be sent to you electronically. For print items or DVDs, the physical item will be sent to UD where it can be picked up from our circulation desk. To learn more about requesting print books, please visit our guide on the topic .

How to Use EBSCO Databases : Overview

• How to Access EBSCO Databases

EBSCO Databases

EBSCO Databases are an integral part of the research process, this guide will give you an introduction to EBSCO and what it can do to help with research. 

How to Use EBSCOHost

1. Step One – How to get to EBSCOHost

Go to the WPC Library ’s webpage at http://library.warnerpacific.edu and click on the “Databases A-Z” link in the left-hand menu. On the next screen is a list of databases, select EBSCOHost.

2. Step Two – Choosing the appropriate database

Choose the database within EBSCOHost that you want to use for your search. Each database within EBSCOHost searches a specific discipline. Read the description for each database to see which one works for your assignment.

Tip : For general topics Academic Search Premier is a great place to start!

Note : You can access EBSCOHost off campus. When the system asks you to login, use your WPC email username and password.

3. Step Three – Entering your topic

You will be directed to a search screen. At the top of the screen you will see 3 search bars. Enter in the information you want to search. From the dropdown menu to the right of the search bar select how you want the search engine to search your information. Below is an explanation of your more common search options:

• AU Author – Finds articles for that author.
• TI Title – Finds exact or similar titles.
• SU Subject – Finds information on a specific subject.
• SO Journal Title – Finds all articles in that database from that journal.
• PE People – Finds information about a specific person (use if trying to find biographical information).

Tip : When typing in your topic, EBSCOHost will offer some suggestions related to or similar to that topic.

Tip : You can limit or focus your search by using more than one topic. Enter each topic separately into one of the 3 search fields. Select from the dropdown menu to the left how to want the search engine to interpret the additional topic.

• And – Will search for results with both/all topics as a subject.
• Or – Will search for results with either one or both of the topics.
• Not – Will exclude a certain topic from your search. (Example: Say you want to do a research paper on war prior to 2001 but your results are predominantly full of reference to the Iraq war, which you don’t want. You could type in “war” as a subject in your first search box and in the second search box type “ Iraq ” as a subject and select “not.)”

4. Step Four – Limiting your results

It is highly recommended that you use some of the limiters below the search bars to limit your results to a manageable amount. Below is an explanation of what some of the limiters do:

• Warner Pacific periodical holdings – Limits search results to articles that can be found in printed copy in the WPC Library.
• Warner Pacific Library EBSCOHost online subscriptions – Limits search results to what journals WPC Library subscribes to online.
• Full text – Will only list articles that either have an HTML or PDF file that you can read online.
• Cited reference – Will only pull up articles that have been cited by other articles within the database.
• Scholarly journals (peer reviewed) – Will only pull up articles that are from credible, academic journals.
• Published date – Will only pull up articles within a specified date range. (Example: May 2001-September 2003.)
• Publication – Will only pull up articles found within a certain journal.
• Publication type – Will only pull up information found in one of the formats listed.
• Document type – Will only pull up information found in one of the formats listed.
• All – Will pull up all articles no matter what the page length.
• Equal to – Will pull up all articles with the amount of pages you designate.
• Less than – Will pull up all articles that have fewer pages than what you designate.
• Greater than – Will pull up all articles that have more pages than what you designate.
• Cover story – Will only pull up articles that were the cover story of a newspaper or journal.
• All – Will pull up all articles whether they have images or not.
• PDF – Will pull up articles that are in PDF format
• Text with graphic – Will pull up articles that have images or graphics.

5. Step Five – Your results

When you have finished entering all of your search topics and limiters, hit the “search” button. The next page will be your results. To view more information about the article click on the article’s title. From the article’s page you can print the article, email it to yourself, read an abstract, or get the article’s citation. (If the article is available in HTML or PDF format click on the link to read the article.)

Tip : If you are having trouble finding enough information on your topic, take a look at the subject terms listed for one of the articles and try searching one of those to expand your search.

Tip : If the WPC Library does not have the article and it’s not available in HTML or PDF format, you can still get the article by clicking on the Interlibrary Loan link on the bottom of the article screen page.

6. Step Six – Let your research guide you

Your research doesn’t have to stop here. From the search results page you will also see additional ways to limit or expand your search. On the left-hand side of the screen are lists of ways in which your results can be limited or expanded even more:

• Source types – Will limit your results to information either found in one of the listed formats.
• Subject – Lists other common subjects among your search results.
• Publication – Will limit your results to articles found only in a specific journal.
• Subject: Thesaurus terms – Will list similar subject terms to the one you searched.
• Author – Will list all articles in your results by the same author.
• Company – Will list all articles in your results published by a corporation or group.
• Publication type – Will limit your results by one of the listed formats.
• Geography – Will limit your results based upon where the article was published.
• NAICS/Industry – Limit your results based upon a certain industry.

7. Step Seven – Still need help?

2024 AMA Winter Academic Conference: Call for Papers

Deadline: Friday, August 11, 2023

Deadline Extended: Friday, August 25, 2023

Call for Papers Is Now Closed

Unlocking Our Potential

February 23-25, 2024 | St. Pete’s Beach, FL

As marketers, we have only just begun to embrace our potential. Our conference theme casts a wide lens on the many ways we, as marketing academics, can unlock our collective potential to be more impactful, more inclusive, appreciate diversity in thoughts and ideas, conduct research with a broader societal focus and embrace innovative methodological approaches to research. As we continue to explore newer topics (e.g., social media) and tools (e.g., machine learning) to address emerging challenges, a lot of work remains across domains that can benefit from our attention.

Initiatives undertaken by our AMA journals and associations over the past decade have started to shift mindsets and encourage researchers to expand their topical and methodological boundaries. These initiatives include:

• The AMA-EBSCO-RRBM Annual Award for Responsible Research in Marketing
• Journal of Marketing and Public Policy’s  Strategic Vision for Rigor, Relevance, and Inclusivity
• Journal of Marketing’s  Better Marketing for a Better World initiative
• Journal of Marketing Research’s  issue on Mitigation in Marketing

Yet we have just scratched the surface of our potential as market researchers.

Mark your calendar and plan to attend the 2024 AMA Winter Academic Conference in St. Pete’s Beach, FL, which will demonstrate how we, as global, diverse, innovative market researchers, craft value for firms and consumers through our research on consumption, market spaces, and firm practices to effect positive change within the marketplace, the wider society and within our academy.  The event will be hosted at the newly renovated Tradewinds Resort Center.

This track showcases the latest and greatest consumer research from a variety of perspectives and approaches.

Akon Ekpo, Loyola University Chicago Cristina Galalae, University of Leicester

Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) research has always had inherent links to the understanding of consumer well-being (CWB). With its focus on the dynamic relationships between consumer actions, marketplace systems, and cultural meanings, CCT has provided insight into consumption and consumers — particularly, the implications of such relationships on consumer quality of life. The link between CCT and CWB has illuminated the contextual, symbolic, and experiential aspects of what it means to be a consumer; unlocking novel theories through interpretive, critical, emancipatory, and transformative frameworks.

We seek to further honor this dialog by seeking research that expands the horizons of theory and context to understand consumption culture in all its manifestations, and unlocking new supports for the well-being of consumers, societies, and communities around the globe. We welcome original submissions of papers and posters that utilize qualitative and/or quantitative methodologies, as well as conceptual and review papers that build upon previous research and unlock innovative perspectives on the fields of Consumer Culture Theory and Consumer Well-Being.

Mantian (Mandy) Hu, The Chinese University of Hong Kong Colin Campbell, University of San Diego

The Digital and Social Media Marketing Track invites paper that builds novel understanding of online and social marketing, regardless of methodology. We are especially interested in papers that explore emerging phenomena such as AI and machine-learning based marketing, blockchain based social media platforms, social commerce such as live shopping, influencer marketing, and creative effectiveness.

Ahmet Kirca, Michigan State University Annie Cui, West Virginia University

Echoing the conference theme of “unlocking our potentials,” this track invites papers that address all issues and activities relevant to international marketing that broadens our horizon and makes a global impact. Topics addressing international marketing strategy or its individual elements, cross-cultural/national aspects of marketing or buyer behavior, global branding, and international marketing in the post-pandemic world are particularly welcome. Other topics of interest include AI-technology and its application in international marketing, global retailing, counterfeiting and its influence on global brands, global supply chain challenges, brand activism in the global marketplace, and innovation in emerging markets. Both conceptual and empirical works, as well as qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research approaches are welcome. • Brand origin/ Country-of-origin • Culture • Emerging markets • Exporting, global distribution • Global branding • Global consumer culture • International advertising • International pricing • International digital marketing • International services • International relationship marketing • Technology and international marketing

Hui (Sophia) Feng, Iowa State University Amalesh Sharma, Texas A&M University

The Marketing Strategy track invites papers that generate strategic insights into how marketing (in terms of strategies, practices, tactics, investments, assets, human capital, etc.) enables organizations to consider a 360-degree overview of organizational actions that create value, allow interaction across multiple stakeholders, ensure excellent customer services, and enhance societal contributions. Consistent with the conference theme, we encourage submissions that examine marketing strategy that can unlock a firm’s potential to create values across various stakeholders, considering changes in the global economy and uncertainty around implementing conventional strategies. In addition, we welcome conceptual and empirical submissions with diverse approaches that offer new perspectives and insights into the marketing strategy. Special consideration will be given to research that touches on issues related to societal impact of marketing, sustainability and responsible strategies, innovations in services catering to low income and resource poor organizations, impact of technology and innovation on the buyer’s journey, or customer engagement.

SP Raj, Syracuse University Gerard Athaide, Loyola University Maryland

This track welcomes papers centered on all aspects of product and brand management. Given the emphasis of the conference on “unlocking our potential,” special consideration will be given to papers that develop new conceptual frameworks or utilize novel methodological approaches to extend current understanding on any aspect of product and brand management (e.g., product development, brand building, brand communication). Of particular import in today’s “digital economy” is the role of newer digital technologies in creating differentiation opportunities related to product and brand management. These technologies can facilitate product innovation (e.g., crowdsourcing ideas online) and foster brand engagement (e.g., digital media). Further, technology enabled product and brand strategies have played a key role in helping firms unlock value in emerging economies and are also very relevant.

Aditya Gupta, Texas State University Ashley Goreczny, Iowa State University Carlos Bauer, University of Alabama

The Sales Management and Organizational Frontline Research track focuses on boundary spanners at the point-of-contact between an organization and its customers that promote, facilitate, or enable value creation and exchange. Interactions at the boundary interface are often mediated by salespeople or other frontline employees, and technology (or a combination of those). The track welcomes research on any aspects of sales, sales management, services, and frontline search, including strategy, incentive and compensation, sales leadership, sales operations, personal selling, sales force motivation and effectiveness, buyer-seller relationships, technology, etc. covering B2C, B2B, and B2G relationships. All sales and frontline research topics and methodologies are welcomed. Additionally, research that follows the conference theme of “unlocking our potential” is particularly encouraged.

Some potential topic areas follow.

Unlocking the potential of…

• The use of technology and AI (social media, CRM, sales enablement, etc.).
• Sales enablement and the role of sales technologies.
• Relationship marketing/relational selling.
• Sales manager leadership (behaviors, styles, mentoring, etc.).
• Salesforce organization/structure.
• Salesperson motivation (including compensation, supervisors’ behaviors, etc.).
• Intra-organizational relationships and functional interfaces at the intra-organizational level (e.g., sales-service interface, sales-marketing interface, frontline interactions)
• Methodological advances in sales force, and frontline research.
• Psychological issues in selling, sales management, and frontline interactions.
• Issues at the intersection of frontline interactions.
• Impact of technological advances on frontline interactions.
• Ethical issues in sales.
• Incentive and compensation design.
• Salespersons’ health and wealth being.

Chen Zhou, University of South Carolina Huanhuan Shi, Texas A&M University

With environmental and social issues becoming an increasing priority among consumers, managers, regulators, and investors, implementing business practices that promote sustainability and social justice is not only a moral imperative, but also a strategic necessity for firms. This track invites research on how firms’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives impact and are impacted by firm stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, and society at large. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: regulation, sustainable development; circular economy, green consumption, promotion of positive business practices in developing economies, impacts of ESG policy changes such as carbon taxes or reporting requirements, degrowth, algorithmic bias in firm decision making, impact of social, racial, and environmental justice on society, education, health, and economic development. We welcome research using a wide range of methods and techniques from a variety of fields.

Submission Types

Submission Template – Competitive Papers

Manuscripts addressing substantive or theoretical topics are sought for competitive paper sessions.

It is  mandatory  that at least one author of all accepted papers register for, and present the paper at, the conference. Submission of the same (or substantially overlapping) manuscript(s) to multiple themes is not permitted. As a reminder, papers are reviewed following a double-anonymized process; reviewers will not know who authored the papers, nor will authors know the names of their reviewers.

Format and Style for Competitive Papers:

Prepare and submit electronic documents in PDF format.  Please include 1) Title, 2) Extended Abstract (175 word limit), 3) Key Contributions to academe and practitioners (300 words) 4) Main text (up to 3,600 words), 5) Table or Figure (optional) and 6) Selected references. Authors have the option of including one table summarizing results and/or one figure (these do not count against the word limit). References also do not count against the word limit.

[Please note that submissions with text longer than 4,100 words will not be reviewed].

To assure an anonymous review, authors must avoid revealing their identities in the body or reference section of the paper. Authors should do the following:

• Do not save the file with author-identifying information in the file name.
• Do not include a front page with author-identifying information.
• Remove the author identifying information from the document’s file properties.

Confirmation that your paper was submitted successfully will be sent via email to the submitter.

Authors of accepted competitive papers have the option of publishing either an extended abstract or a full paper in the conference proceedings.  Choosing to publish an Extended Abstract gives authors the option to submit the paper elsewhere for publication after the conference.

Submission Template – Poster Presentation

Poster sessions provide an opportunity to share research in the working stage, i.e., with at least part of the data having been collected and analyzed, but not necessarily ready for submission to a journal. They are presented as part of poster sessions. Poster sessions can be particularly useful for getting input at intermediate stages of a research project. All poster abstract submissions must be directed to only one track.

By submitting a poster abstract, the author affirms that he/she will register for and appear at the conference to participate in the poster session.

Format and Submission Process for Posters:

Prepare and submit electronic documents in PDF format. Please include 1) Title, 2) Key Contributions to academe and practitioners (300 words), 3) Extended Abstract (1,000 word limit), 4) Table or Figure (optional) and 5) Selected references. Authors have the option of including one table summarizing results and/or one figure (these do not count against the word limit). References also do not count against the word limit.

Please note that submissions with text longer than 1,300 words will not be reviewed].

• Remove the author identifying information from the document’s file properties

Confirmation that your abstract was submitted successfully will be sent via email to the submitter.

Accepted poster authors must agree to prepare a poster for display during the session and be available to discuss your research and answer questions at the invited poster session.

Submission Template – Special Session

Anyone may organize and propose a special session, although those who are unfamiliar with AMA conference special sessions are encouraged to discuss their ideas with the conference co-chairs or track chairs for developmental feedback before submitting a proposal. Special sessions provide a good vehicle to acquaint marketing academics with new perspectives, theories, and provocative ideas, to bring diverse participants together around a common theme, or to integrate academically-minded practitioners into the conference. Sessions involving participants from multiple countries, focusing on theory development or cutting-edge research directions, and offering insights regarding academic-business partnerships for teaching or research are particularly encouraged.

Special sessions should feature three or four presentations on a related theme. Another possibility is an interactive panel discussion among 4-6 panelists and a moderator. Other creative special session formats are encouraged, particularly those that generate attendee interaction.

All special session proposal submissions must be directed to only one track. Proposals for special sessions should describe the topic and its importance to marketing, summarize the issues to be covered, and identify all individuals (with their qualifications) who will formally participate. Special session proposals should provide specificity regarding the purpose, format, participants, and roles in the session. AMA Academic Special Interest Groups (SIGs) may propose special sessions to the SIG Programming track.

Selection criteria include the general quality of the proposal, the level of interest the session is likely to generate at the conference, and the session’s relevance to the conference theme.

By submitting a special session proposal, the organizer and listed participants affirm that, if accepted, all will register for and appear at the Conference as described in the proposal. 

Format and Submission Process for Special Sessions:

Prepare and submit an extended abstract in Microsoft Word format.  Special session proposals must include the title of the session and an extended abstract of 3,600 words maximum. The proposal should describe the objective of the session, its structure and general orientation, likely audience, key issues, and topics to be covered, as well as a description of why the session is likely to make an important contribution to the discipline. Also, include a brief description of each paper in the session.

The text of the special session proposal must not exceed 3,600 words and should be submitted in the double-spaced format, prepared in 12-point font.

Due to the unique nature of special sessions, presenter names and information should be included in the proposal and will be noted as a part of the review process.

Confirmation that your proposal was submitted successfully will be sent via email to the submitter. Special session participants are all expected to register for the conference.

How Do I Submit My Paper?

All submissions should be made electronically via the AMA’s online submission management system (Ex Ordo). If you have submitted to an AMA academic conference in the last year, you should be able to use the same username and password. The deadline for submission was August 25, 2023.

Code of Ethics

Authors submitting papers to American Marketing Association academic conferences must adhere to the following code of ethics:

• Submission of the same (or substantially overlapping) manuscript, special session proposal, or working paper abstract to multiple themes is not permitted.
• Submitting authors should specify who will present papers being considered for Special Sessions or Competitive Paper presentations. An author can be listed as a presenter for no more than two submissions but can be listed as the co-author of multiple submissions. This restriction is to encourage authors to submit their best work and to allow a wider range of presenters.
• Submissions should not already be published in any journal or publication (including online journals, books, and book chapters). Submitting authors should monitor this issue carefully.
• Competitive Paper and Poster submissions should not include content that has been presented at earlier AMA conferences.
