Literature Searches (Part 3): Back to the Future

“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” -- Winston Churchill (British Orator, Author and Prime Minister during World War II. 1874-1965)

Today’s literature searching tip has to do with backward searches.

According to Yair Levy and Timothy J. Ellis, in “A Systems Approach to Conduct an Effective Literature Review in Support of Information Systems Research,” …

Backward references search refers to reviewing the references of the articles yielded from the keyword search noted above. For example, if one is studying the construct of computer self-efficacy, hopefully in their keywords search the researcher will have stumbled upon Compeau and Higgins (1995)’s pioneering article. Conducting a backward references search for computer self-efficacy, will mean to pull out and review all the relevant references of Compeau and Higgins (1995)’s article such as Bandura (1977) or Barling and Beattie (1983) articles. Doing such backward references search provides researchers with the ability to learn more about the origins of the construct, theory, or model under study.”

This step is straight forward.  It is also labor intensive. But, hey, that’s why you pay your research assistant the big bucks. You simply read and digest each and every reference listed in your selected primary research articles.  For example, using the article we have selected as an example …
