Who would have an interest in my topic and possibly study it or monitor it?
Where would they publish the studies or reports that they generate?
We recommend two databases through the Library to find these kinds of reports. For ERIC, you'll need to filter your results (ask your librarian for help). The Harvard Think Tank Search - an open resource - is also a good option.
Using a search engine like Google is another way discover these materials. Google’s advanced search menu has a number of options you can use to refine your results.
You can also use the following search tips:
You might also consider trying other search engines beyond Google, as they often give different results. Many search engines change the results you see based on your previous searches, browsing history, sponsored content, and other factors. To avoid this, you can try a search engine like DuckDuckGo, which doesn't track your search history.
Boolean operators are terms you can use to narrow or broaden your search in a database, library catalog, or a search engine like Google. The three basic operators are: AND, OR, and NOT.
Why use them?
When using Boolean logic to create a search strategy, use double quotation marks (" ") when you are searching for a phrase (words you'd like to keep together).
Use the operator "AND" in a search to:
Example: california AND "secondary education"
Use the operator OR to:
Example: "high school" OR "secondary education"
Use the operator NOT to:
Example: student AND "mental health" NOT anxiety
Example: ("mental health" OR anxiety OR depression) AND ("high school" OR secondary) AND student
