+ | ===== Search Strategies ===== | ||
+ | 1. Keyword/author/title search | ||
+ | 2. One good item search | ||
+ | * Mine the bibliography of a good paper | ||
+ | * Find out who cited it | ||
+ | * "Related item" options | ||
+ | * This strategy works well with PhD theses | ||
+ | 3. More/less strategies | ||
+ | * More | ||
+ | * Truncation | ||
+ | * Synonyms | ||
+ | * Family or genus rather than species | ||
+ | * Connect terms with boolean OR | ||
+ | * Less | ||
+ | * Narrower topic words | ||
+ | * Put quotes around phrases | ||
+ | * Exclude terms with NOT | ||
+ | * Boolean AND |
