bibliographic literature research Explanation: Actually, what they're looking for is annotated literature, giving references to author, date, etc. that backs ups their findings. |

bibliographic search Explanation: MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL are databases. I believe, one SEARCHES databases. In the end, however, it depends on the context, i.e. how complex the (re)search is. |

literature search Explanation: I believe this would be the term used and that "bibliographic" could arguably be omitted. I am basing this partly on my experience in patent searching (where literature searches are often carried out in addition to patent searches) and partly on years spent working on translations in the British Library listening to the staff helping other readers conduct literature searches using Medline or PubMed. In the patent field, the term "Recherche" is used to mean search rather than research. Literature Searching A literature search is an important part of the research process, summarising current knowledge and informing future research. It should identify the amount and quality of work that has already been carried out in the topic area. The search can either be general: identifying any relevant work, or it can be more specific which requires a systematic and comprehensive search of the literature to identify what area[s] have already been investigated, highlight new ways of investigating the problem and provide a theoretical basis of the research question, as well as ensuring the proposed research is based on hypotheses supported by sufficient evidence. Whilst a time consuming process a properly constructed literature search will ultimately save time, helping the researcher avoid design errors, identify validated instruments that could be used and highlight data analysis methods. http://www.thh.nhs.uk/documents/_Departments/Research/InfoSh...

Medline and bibliographic databases Traditional bibliographic resources still provide the most effective means of finding medical literature. http://www.rcog.org.uk/our-profession/research-services/Effe...

The various databases mentioned allow users to conduct bibliographic searches of/ through medical literature (or bibliographic searches to identify relevant literature). |
