Appendix 5: SID.ir CENTRAL Search Strategy
Scientific Information Database "SID.ir" indexes Iranian authors information in 3 subgroups: Journals Articles, Non-Journal Arti-cles(Conference Articles, etc.) & Theses Proposals(unpublished works); of both English & Persian Languages. Our Search Strategy due to it's limited potency for defining search strategy, conducted to search through Titles, Abstracts & Keywords for related articles of "Brain Injury" or its Persian equivalents; and hand-search through the results for related Articles.
Appendix6: Barekat (Iran MEDEX) CENTRAL Search Strategy
The most important difference between "SID.ir" &"Iran-MEDEX" is "Iran-MEDEX" indexes the articles of Islamic Scientific Citation(ISC) Journals, other than Iranian journals; the same search strategy of "SID.ir" belongs to this Database too.
