It often takes a long time to find enough sources to write a research paper. Here are four ways to revise your search to find more sources:

  1. Find one relevant source, and notice what language it uses. Add some of that language to your search.
  2. Try a different database.
  3. Broaden your topic.
  4. Talk with a librarian. Librarians can help you choose keywords, select databases, and refine your topic. Find librarian contact information at Ask Us.
