Should social science researchers rethink their “go-to” databases and search platforms when doing literature reviews? - Good Questions Review

Should social science researchers rethink their “go-to” databases and search platforms when doing literature reviews?This is a post from a living literature review project called Good Questions Review. The latest posts from the project can be found on https://www.monash.edu/msdi/research/good-questions-review/ and their versions of record are deposited here on Monash University's Bridges system.See document for text.Good Questions Review explores emerging insights about how social science research can be more useful for making decisions. Articles will be guided by at least one of the following questions:What are the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches we currently identify, develop, and prioritise questions and set research agendas?What makes "good" questions in the social sciences for policy and program impact? How is this changing? How should it change?Who writes "good" questions? In what conditions and with what skills? Who needs to be involved for better questions addressing complex social issues?This Good Questions Review post was written by Paul Kellner in his role as Research Fellow at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute through support from Open Philanthropy.

社会科学研究者在开展文献综述时，是否需要重新审视其惯用的数据库与检索平台？
本文源自一项名为《优质问题综述（Good Questions Review）》的动态文献综述（living literature review）项目。该项目的最新内容可通过网址https://www.monash.edu/msdi/research/good-questions-review/查阅，其正式存档版本均存储于莫纳什大学（Monash University）的Bridges系统中，文本详情请参阅对应文档。
优质问题综述项目致力于探索如何让社会科学研究更有效地服务于决策制定的新兴研究洞见。所收录文章均将至少围绕以下问题之一展开研究：
1. 我们当前用于识别、构建、遴选问题并制定研究议程的各类方法，其优势与局限分别是什么？
2. 在社会科学领域，何为服务于政策与项目影响评估的"优质问题"？这一评判标准正发生怎样的变化？又应当朝着何种方向优化？
3. 谁能够提出"优质问题"？提出优质问题需要具备何种条件与技能？若要针对复杂社会议题提出更优质的问题，需要哪些主体参与协作？
本篇优质问题综述文章由保罗·凯尔纳（Paul Kellner）撰写，其时任莫纳什可持续发展研究所（Monash Sustainable Development Institute）研究员，本文得到了Open Philanthropy（开放慈善项目）的资助支持。
