Some useful tips are:

• In Google Scholar you will get many more results so you will probably need to keep refining with key terms to get manageable and properly filtered results.
• To check that you have the most recent publications (choose within the last 3-5 years), you can also select from the date sorting on the left hand side.
• Remember again to use quotation marks and to capitalise the 'AND'.

reflection on theprocess of doing research.

answer the following questions:

• Did you find the research easier than you thought or more difficult?
• Which search terms did you use to find your articles and how much filtering/search adjustment did you need to do (please detail the process of each search)?
• Had you ever previously used this type of research process?
• What do you think made it so?
• Were you able to get help and advice when you needed it?
• Next time you need to do research would you be more likely to use the data bases or to use Google Scholar?
• Why?
• Before you enrolled at university, were you aware that doing your own research would be such a large and important part of the journey?
