Search Tips
To get more results, broaden your search.
Use fewer search terms. Look for words not unique to your topic that you could cut from your search string.
OR
Use OR to link synonyms, so you get articles where the authors used other terms to describe the same concept.
(education OR schools)
*
Use an asterisk to find articles using any of the variants of the same root word.
administrat* = administration, administrative, administrator, administrations
Use more inclusive search terms.
Bigger locations - too few results from los angeles, try california
More general terms - too few results from homicide, try crime
Search as many possible sources at once by using
Google Scholar
.
To get fewer results, narrow your search.
" "
Use quotation marks to find exact phrases, when you need words next to each other in precise sequence to have the meaning you intend.
"mass shooting"
"mask mandate"
Add more concepts to your search. Consider the who, what, when, where, why, and how.
Use narrower, more specific concepts or aspects of your original topic.
wildfires => "woolsey fire"
Search fewer sources, one top journal at a time.
