Citing Your Sources!

Keyword Tips

Keywords are the building blocks of research. Good search terms get better results.

How to brainstorm keywords: 

  • List important terms from your research question (and other questions related to your topic)
  • Think of synonyms and broader/narrower terms
  • Use Boolean logic in Advanced searches
    • AND (narrows search): climate change AND agriculture
    • OR (expands search): education OR schooling
    • NOT (excludes): AI NOT military

Remember to return to your keyword list often and add new terms as you find them in other sources!
