This paper will introduce these channels, and provide some specific methods and skills to find paper data, so as to help you obtain the required data effectively.
Academic database
Academic database is an online platform containing a large number of academic resources such as academic journals, conference papers and dissertations. Some well-known academic databases include Web of Science, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, PubMed and so on. Using these databases, we can search for keywords, find relevant papers, and obtain data parts.
Public database
Public database is an open data resource provided by the government, institutions or organizations. For example, the National Bureau of Statistics, the Health and Wellness Committee and the Environmental Protection Bureau all publish relevant statistical data and research reports. In addition, some international organizations, such as the World Bank and the World Health Organization, also provide a wealth of public data. The data in these public databases can be obtained by visiting official websites or using related platforms.
Professional institutions in all walks of life usually conduct a lot of research and data collection, which is very valuable for research in specific fields. For example, the market data of financial institutions, the incidence statistics of health institutions, and the energy consumption data of energy institutions. By consulting these professional institutions, consulting their research reports or visiting official websites, we can obtain high-quality data in related fields.
Library is a traditional and important information resource center, with a large number of books, periodicals, reports and documents. Through the online catalogue or database of the library, you can find the literature related to your research topic, which may contain the required data. In addition, the library staff will also provide consultation and guidance on library resources to help you find the appropriate data sources.
Internet search
Internet is an important channel to obtain all kinds of information. By using search engines and academic search engines, you can search a large number of data resources related to your research topic. Pay attention to the selection of authoritative websites and sources, such as government agencies, institutions of higher learning and well-known research institutions. To ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data.
To find the data needed for the thesis, we need to make comprehensive use of various channels, including academic databases, public databases, professional institutions, libraries, the Internet and so on. When searching for data, we should be clear about our research topics and data requirements, and use various tools and technologies to screen and verify the quality and reliability of data. At the same time, respect the copyright and usage regulations of data providers and ensure the legal and compliant use of data.
