Why do you need a search strategy?

Why do you need a search strategy?

  • If you plan your search before you start, you will have a much better chance of finding information that's useful for your assignment
  • If you choose your search terms carefully you won't waste time looking for irrelevant information
  • If you keep a record what you've done and where you've looked, you won't duplicate your efforts
  • A comprehensive search of the literature will help you discover previously published research and identify a research gap
