Have a look at our research tips listed below to find materials you need
By following these tips, you can turn your research topic into several effective search strategies. Trying different combinations of search terms will help ensure you find wide range of materials on a particular topic.
Where to begin:
1. Once you have thought about the topics and issues you will be researching, create a list of KEYWORDS that best describe your subject and your approach to the subject (specific themes to be studied, theoretical approaches, etc).
Tip: Include synonyms to account for variations in terminology. You should also account for variations in language, spelling (color, colour), tense, etc. Antonyms are also occasionally helpful.
Examples :
Advocacy journalism, Accuracy, Truthfulness, News writing style, Ethic Objectivity, Editorial independence
Note: the above is not intended to represent a complete list of possible terms.
2. Use main words only ignoring articles, prepositions, or conjunctions as well as punctuation and capitalization
3. Using the above Keywords, create a variety of search strategies.
Words and Phrases may be combined using AND, OR, & NOT (i.e. Boolean operators).
Examples:
4. The " * " is a truncation symbol.
Example: "journalis*" finds journalism and journalistic etc.
5. Use wildcard to replace letters from inside the word analy?e - this is useful for including British and American spellings - analyze and analyse, wom?n - your search will include woman and women.
6. Use quotation marks to connect the words together as exact phrase.
“media law” - your search will include “…media law…”not “media … entertainment law”.
