FSTA

FSTA Faculty Advisory Board 

FSTA has been providing a valuable service for researchers for over 50 years. However, the last 10 years have seen radical changes, which have made it harder to locate scientific information that is both relevant and reliable. Relevance has become an issue because general search tools like Google Scholar produce an overwhelming number of irrelevant results. Whilst reliability is a growing problem caused by the proliferation of predatory journals and fake news.

The advisory board provides advice on:

  • The coverage in FSTA (which becomes more challenging as research becomes more interdisciplinary)
  • The content in FSTA (including which formats and titles to include)
  • How to develop best practice in literature searching and literature reviews.
