Keeping Track

Keeping track of your research as you go will make things a lot easier in the long run. Ultimately, you need to find a way to keep track of this work that makes sense to you. This could be a notebook, a Google Doc, sending an email to yourself, or creating an account in a specific database. You can also use Zotero (a citation management tool) to help you organize this work. Things you want to be keeping up with are

  • What words did you search? Did you use any subject headings? Did you use Boolean operators?
  • What databases or search engines did you use? Did you use any of the filters in that database to limit your results?
  • What resources did you find through this search?
  • When did you search? Knowing the date can help you understand if anything has changed since the last time you searched.

You want to be able to reproduce the search you did.
