The diagram above visualizes the steps you need to take within your search strategy. You start by formulating your search question clearly and precisely, then you determine what the most important concepts/elements in your search question are. You will search for keywords and synonyms for each of those elements. You choose a database and within that database you will set up a search query using your keywords and operators. Then you perform your search in your database and view the results. If they are to your liking (relevant and sufficient), you can continue with your research. If they are not to your liking, you can take steps back in your strategy. For example, adding new keywords (more synonyms, different spellings or singular/plural forms) or combining keywords differently (with OR instead of AND or vice versa). You can also choose another more discipline-specific or interdisciplinary databases. Or perhaps you have not chosen the right concepts or your search question is too vague or too specific. Make the necessary adjustments and perform your search in the database again.
