Use this guide to learn how to properly and effectively conduct comprehensive searches of the literature.
Remember that searching:
- is an ITERATIVE process
- often requires re-evaluation and testing, from adding or changing keywords and the ways they relate to each other, to choosing new resources to search, and even rewording or straight-up changing the research question!
- is a logic puzzle that requires an understanding of precision and sensitivity
- pretty fun once you get the hang of the process!
