STA305 / STA1004: Design of Scientific Studies

Starting your Web of Science search

To begin your search in Web of Science, chose one or two keywords that accurately reflect your topic.  Search for your terms in Topic field.  This will allow you to create as broad a search as possible in Web of Science.  (If you do not get any results using this search strategy, consider using different words for your search).  In order to limit your search to just those articles written by faculty at the University of Toronto, click on  +Add row. This will give you an additional line to add to your search. On the new search line, search for  University of Toronto in the Organization-Enhanced field.   In this assignment, you will limit your search to articles published from 2010 to the present. In order to do this, you can customize the Timespan that Web of Science will search.
