Search hedges, or filters, are vetted strategies created by expert researchers to find specific literature. Make sure to keep track of where the hedges came from and cite them as a source.
Paste search hedges into a word doc to save because a search history may disappear.
Be sure to check out the list of sources below:
Searches should be the same no matter the database. Must be as exact as possible.
It is important to keep track of all your search terms as well as your search strategies that you have used in each database. This information acts as the needed supplemental material for your publication.
The documentation of your search process would go into the Methodology section of your work. Here is where you can explain why search terms were excluded or included, and what databases you used.
Utilize Google to do a quick search for current search hedges. Read through the filters before copying them into a database.
