Expanding Your Search Results
Not getting enough? Expand your search results by looking for alternate word endings (aka truncation), breaking your search concepts down, thinking of alternate search terms (including scientific names if applicable) and connecting them with OR, and using the database's features for finding additional references.
Alternate Word Endings and Spellings (Truncation)
Broaden your search by using * to find words with alternate endings (e.g. sustainab* to find sustainable and sustainability)
Break Your Topic Into Concepts and Think of Alternate Terms or Synonyms
Break your topic into concepts, think of synonyms & use OR (in capital letters so the database knows you don’t mean the word or) to connect them to find results
Separate concepts are connected by AND
And you can add more search fields
