      Watch this UniSA Library video on developing a search strategy from a research question


      Key points from the video

    • Explore the literature and find where the gaps are to frame your research question
    • This is a circular process and takes practice
    • Form a clear and focused research question
    • Plan your search approach to save time
    • Break down your research question into task and content words - this will help you identify what you need to search for
    • Identify synonyms for the content words to help you do a comprehensive literature search
    • Use different search strategies - watch this video for examples on how to do this and check the Library how to guides for more tips
