Search strategies to experiment with
- Run an overly broad search by searching for an element using just it's name -- ex: Radon. How many results do you have?
- Use filters to limit results to the past five years, and include only academic journals. How many results do you have now?
- Now, run a search using a synonym or similar term to your initial search. How do the results compare?
- Narrow that same search down by using the advanced search feature and two or more search terms. How many results do you have now? How do the results compare?
