As part of my DM Dissertation, I am working on a literature review from the ERIC database (via EBSCO). Thus far the keywords "data mining" bring up about 120 results. Er… just a second.
I just revisited the EBSCO host and am now getting a different number of results. I am now getting 117 total on "data mining" and only 27 if I check the "Peer Reviewed" option. Now, having just found this I imagine that the missing results are some duplicate records that I have found in the first set. Some have just been plain unusable results…
Well, I can see that I'll need to double-check the results and move forward. At any rate, the purpose of the "literature review" label is for summary, comments, and reference for the papers of impact on my review. I will also be adding in other labels so I can tell which papers speak about which aspects of Educational Data Mining.
Oh, I subscribed to the EBSCO RSS feed in Google Reader, I'll see if I can't get that exposed or shared, or linked to from here.
