Quick Tips
- Use quotes when your concept has more than one word (i.e. “military coup”)
- Use synonyms and play around with keywords to create broader and narrower searches (i.e. women’s roles might be feminism)
- Search in English and target language (i.e. terrorism or terrorismo)
- Use the filters on the left side of the database to limit format (scholarly article, news, etc.), date of publication, language, and more
- Refer to GU’s tips on using Google Scholar
