Hi,
I am trying to conduct a systematic review on a topic related to criminology. However, there are many databases and I am not sure if deliberately choosing some databases while omitting others is a wise strategy to do this. Upon reading other articles on systematic reviews in criminology, some selected articles from up to 15 databases, while there are others that only choose articles from two databases. And there are some articles that did not even tell what databases that they used to search the articles.
What are the (acceptable and publishable) norms when it comes to choosing databases for a criminological systematic review? Since Ebscohost also contains a few major databases, would it be OK, in your opinion, to only search for articles there?
Your assistance is much appreciated and thank you.
Criminology: (Subject)
Databases are common in today’s world it is the twenty first Century.
Answer the question first then we could work with it.
What are the subjects in a Bachelor of Arts in criminology?
Some of the common Bachelor of Arts Criminology subjects are Fundamentals of Criminology, Criminal Psychology, Police Science and Forensic Science, Laws of Crime and Minor Acts, Police Administration and Procedural Law and Forensic Medicine, etc. The syllabus for the BA Criminology aims to introduce the individual to the study of crime in our society.
Dear Danielle,
Thank you for the very helpful answer!
Will consider to also include databases specifically targeting criminal justice research.
