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"
