3 simple steps to find more relevant articles on your topic


Do you struggle to find documents on your topic?
The good news is that if you have just one relevant paper, then you can use that one to find many others.

Take that one interesting paper and check the following:
  • Are there other papers written by that author?
  • Are there interesting papers mentioned in the paper's bibliography?
  • Has this paper been cited by others?
Then, do the same thing for any paper you've found.

This is called the "snowball technique"... and it can lead you to end up with a huge amount of papers!
So always make sure that the new papers you find are actually directly relevant to your topic before you start researching them...

In the video below, you will see in details how to apply this technique, using EBSCOhost databases and Google Scholar.

Tweaking your literature search to get relevant results


Once you've done a literature search and you start looking at the results, you might get surprised...
If you're lucky, most of the results will be actually relevant to your topic.
But very often, this won't be the case.

If most of your results are not actually on the topic you were researching, you can use the following techniques to modify your search:
  • Do the search again using a "field";
  • Limit your search by subject; or
  • Add another term to your search.
Here are detailed explanations, in video:
