What are Keywords?
Keywords are words or short phrases that represent the main concepts in your research topic or question.
Research databases use keywords to find relevant information, not full sentences, spelling mistakes, or conversational language. This is why it is important to have a good selection of keywords before you begin searching.
Brainstorming Keywords
To think of some keywords, identify the main concepts of your research question or topic. Then, think of synonyms or like-terms for these concepts. Keep a list of all these keyword options. Some may pull more relevant information than others.
Keyword Generator Tool - this tool from the University of Texas helps you pull out key concepts of your research question.
Keep an eye out for how your topic is discussed by authors and what subject-specific language they are using. You can always add these terms to your list of keywords!
