Tips for Searching Article Databases

Databases may look different, but they all work alike. Use the tips below to search article databases effectively.

First, organize your research topic into concepts. Concepts are typically nouns or noun phrases. For example, if you are interested in healthcare services to the elderly in rural areas, your concepts might be:
- elderly
- "healthcare services"
- rural
Use quotes around phrases!
Too many or too few results?
- Use the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) search to find related, broader, narrower, and similar terms OR specific terms that the databases uses to describe a topic.
- Run a new search using different terms. Try anything - you never know what might work!
Find an article that looks interesting?
- Click on the article's title.
- Look at the keyword given to an article to find related terms and run additional searches using these terms.
- Click on the similar documents link in the article’s entry to find related articles.
