Additional File 2: The Scoping Strategy used for Bibliographic Databases

The scoping search strategies for the bibliographic databases are presented with the most recent searches of Cab Abstracts first, followed byScopus and the initial searches of Web of Knowledge last.

3. Cab Abstracts

Dates: Searches were conducted between 06-01-14 and 17-01-14

Resources: Cab Abstracts Archive 1910 – 1972

Cab Abstracts 1972 -1989

Cab Abstracts 1990 – 2013

Search Strategy:

Relevant CABICODES* were selected to conduct searches for documents (listed below). Searches were tested primarily with EECABICODES as a larger number of these codes were identified as relevant to the search strategy (Table 5). The search terms were also applied to chosen UU, KK, CC, PP, LL, and MM CABICODES.

Search terms were selected using the Cab Abstracts Thesaurus, and were chosen according to whether they act as subject headings* in the Cab Abstracts Database. Search terms were selected that were both relevant to the subject area & broad, in order to capture a wide range of documents. In order to broaden the search results, variations of the search terms were also used to search document titles.

The scoping search was conducted using facilities at the British Library, but due to export limitations, the final search was conducted and exported from the Oxford Bodleian Library. This affected the final search results, with a total number of search results at 12,436 when searching at the British Library, and 12,389 when searching at the Oxford Bodleian Library. Such a small discrepancy is likely dueto reassignment and updates on the CAB Abstracts database between the period of conducting the scoping search at the British Library (17-01-14) and exporting the search from the Oxford Bodleian Library (22-01-14).

*CABICODES – are the CAB classification, which allow the database user to search the CAB using letters and numerics. Each CAB classification refers to an area of interest e.g. EE CABICODE refer to documents that are in the subject area of economics.

*Subject Headings act as a descriptor index in Cab Abstracts. They are assigned to every document in the Cab Abstracts database and describe the document’s subject field.

Search Strategy:

Table 6 details the scoping strategy used in Scopus. Search terms included synonyms of alternative livelihoods, examples of specific types of alternative livelihood interventions (beekeeping OR cane rat farming), and terms related to biodiversity conservation. Search terms focus on the population and intervention elements that construct the research question. Further terms were added to the table in an iterative process, as searches were conducted and more terms were identified from the literature. Additionally, search terms were also identified during a brainstorming exercise at a review team meeting held on the 26th November 2013.

The scoping search used the appropriate advanced search features including inverted brackets {} to search phrases, proximity searches (W/n), and wildcard searches (*). Searches were conducted across document titles, abstracts and keywords (TITLE-ABS-KEY). The scoping strategy included 12 subject areas and excluded18 irrelevant subject areas (listed below).
