Search Terms

Use search terms that are as specific as possible.  But, also have more general search terms ready if needed.  Suggested filters to add to your search  (usually on the left-hand side of the screen) include:

  • Sort or filter by most recent results first (DATE SORT)
  • Limit to FULL TEXT availability (so you can read the article immediately)
  • Limit to PEER REVIEWED or SCHOLARLY ARTICLES
  • Limit to English language 
  • Filter by TYPE OF PUBLICATION (newspaper, editorial)
