Research Tips
Brainstorm possible search terms for your topic. Keep in mind that you may need to simplify long phrases by breaking them up into separate search terms or smaller phrases.
Before starting your research, be sure first that there are sufficient sources on the topic, and do so early in case you need to broaden, narrow, or change your topic; and also so that you can maximize your time for researching and writing.
Use databases to find articles on your topic from a variety of journals and other sources. Use journals to find a specific article or to search a topic in a specific journal.
