Search Tips
And / Or / Not
When you put words in a search box, it is by default using the word "and" to combine your terms. You will likely find "or" to be useful in identifying references to studies:
study or research*
Asterisk
Typing Shift + 8 on a standard keyboard tells the database to look for various word forms.
teen* finds teen, teenage, teenaged, teenager
Quotes
Using quotation marks in your search tells the database to look for those words together as a phrase. It can be helpful in identifying key phrases:
"according to", "recent study"
Source Type Limiter
Narrowing the search to magazines provides only results that are published in a popular source.
