Whether one has heard of a concept or not depends on where one has been
looking. The phrase has definitely been discussed in literature across
disciplines. Consider these database search results. Also remember
discussion of the phrase does not mean that research is ever, often or
always considered reliable by scholars, but the concept is discussed and
with the amount of discussion of research in this context, it is likely
that there are believers out there that think some research is reliable.

I just completed, yesterday, for a new research guide in progress, a
rather extensive list of databases that have content about neuropsychology
or employ a phrase starting with neuroscience followed by a psychological
concept such as psychology or the phrase mental health. The old way of
doing this was to look for databases that probably had content on a topic
or to use the standard lists created by others.

================================================
On various academic discussion groups, I have seen professors and "authors
to be" ask members of a list for publication citations on a topic they
plan to research and publish about. How thorough and representative would
the literature review be resulting from such a method of finding sources?
I debated whether to check some of the databases in the neuropsychology
list and found sources for the Neuropsychology search where I was sure
there would be none. Also neuropsychology found in an odd place could be
a source of someones paper, using the citations found in that odd source.
Consider this example
Water Resources Abstracts
This database finds 27 sources for a search of neuropsychology OR
neuropsychological OR (neuroscience AND (psychology OR psychological OR
"mental health" OR "mental illness" OR "mentally ill"))
This is one I was not going to check
The general theme in these 27 results has to do with brain damage
resulting from poisoned water. I have a research guide about Flint
Michigan in this regard, but what content is added to someones research
on poisoned water with these 27 sources? Letting the researcher know to
look there is a very important part of information sharing. It also can
get the database higher user counts adding to the justification for
keeping the database at the subscribing institution.
So what is the point of all of this? I go all the way back to the age of
card catalogs and print indexes to subject fields. It was murder trying to
find sources on a complex topic in that era.
Now in moments, one can find oceans of sources on many topics in seconds,
once a, pardon me for this one, reliable Boolean search strategy is
devised, on many topics such as "reliable research" OR on neuropsychology
OR neuropsychological OR (neuroscience AND (psychology OR psychological OR
"mental health" OR "mental illness" OR "mentally ill"))
I have many examples of search strategies with results with this link
"google domain limited web search" AND listserv
http://tinyurl.com/heq8ego
By the way, this link is a breakthrough for me as I just found a way to
show lots of search examples without Google providing links to mostly my
research guides which makes finding the examples a treasure hunt.
The point of this excursion is that we are no longer in the age of the
card catalog and print index, one cannot find either in a major library as
a core source meriting major use. I even advise against using online
catalogs as an authority for what a library holds on a specific topic as
Google Books, Summon, Worldcat and other discovery services such as Summon
do far far better. The online catalog is based on the print card catalog.
How much can one learn about the content of a book from an augmented three
by five card?
We are also no longer in an age wherein a scholars authority based on
personal experience is a valid or useful way of conducting reliable
research. Assertions based on this type of authority may be defeated
quickly by database searches and learning how to use these tools
effectively is a hobby researchers are highly advised to take up.
DATABASE SEARCHING: Search Technique Resources and Finding Tools
http://guides.temple.edu/databases
I have seen impossible topics melt into a piece of cake using these tools,
but there is a learning curve to use them effectively and time spent
learning their methods, which differ from system to system will help pile
larger portions of reliable research and evidence based content into the
underlying literature reviews of research projects and publications.
