Articles

The same keywords you used to search for books may be too broad or inclusive when searching for journal articles, and as a result you may retrieve too many articles or items that appear irrelevant to your topic. Try to think of synonyms or related terms that more significantly describe your topic, such as the term “epistemology” rather than “knowing.” Searching with good keywords is an important step in finding relevant articles.
