Identify keywords, phrases, synonyms and related terms for the information needed. I will introduce them to their Research Help Guide and the databases that are available to them.

Google Scholar orders your search Philipp Mayr and Anne-Kathrin Walter 85 FIGURE 1. Google Scholar Approach Downloaded By: [Canadian Research Knowledge Network] At: 17:34 15 May 2011 results by how relevant they are to your query, so the most useful references should appear at the top of the page. This relevance ranking takes into account the full text of each article as well as the article’s author, the publication in which the article appeared and how often it has been cited in scholarly literature. Google Scholar also automatically analyzes and extracts citations and presents them as separate results, even if the documents they refer to are not online. This means your search results may include citations of older works and seminal articles that appear only in books or other offline publications.”
