- Research is a process. You probably won’t find everything you need on the first try. You may need to do multiple searches or read some background information about your topic before continuing to search.
- If you can’t find much on your topic, try different keywords. Using synonyms or broader and related terms can help you find more articles. As you research, be on the lookout for new keywords to use.
