Monitoring Tip: Biodesulfurization

“The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer” -- Ed Murrow

When monitoring developments in your field, ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com) is a good source … not the only source, but free, and easy to use.

Save yourself some time by going beyond the obvious in forming your search string. For example, if you are interested in the use of rhodococcus to desulurize petroleum products, and you are interested in recent developments in the field, the following search statement is designed to retrieve just what you need.

Here are a few of the results of the search …

By bringing to your online search strategy the same creativity you use in your research, you will improve the effectiveness of your efforts in both areas.
