Where do you begin when faced with a broad research topic? How do you turn an idea into a precise, effective search for related literature? In this workshop, we’ll guide you through breaking down your topic, identifying key concepts, and translating them into a structured search strategy. You’ll learn practical tips and tricks for smarter searching and discover how to build a focused, comprehensive search string that works across academic databases.
Join the Academic Skills Centre for this online workshop to help you take control of the research process, followed by a Q&A where you can ask any questions related to this topic.
