After identifying a topic and developing a research question, break it down into 2-4 words or short phrases
- For example, if your research question is, "How does a remote work policy affect employee productivity in an organization?" you might choose remote work and productivity as your keywords
- Those two terms effectively sum up the big idea of the research question and give a clear sense of what you're hoping to find
Using fewer, more focused search terms gives you a better chance of finding what you need rather than if you typed in the whole question
