1.4 Using documents that have been retrieved

Articles that are irrelevant can be deleted from the lists, after the references that are mentioned have been jotted down.

The remaining articles are divided into two groups:

  • Those that are remotely interesting,
  • Those that contain a piece of interesting data.

Within each of these two groups, articles can be sorted, for example, by name of the main author (and by year, if this name appears repeatedly, a common occurrence).

As for the "remotely interesting" group, a note can be made for each article in relation to the reference that is shown.
