For researchers drowning in irrelevant hits or missing key papers, get help building searches for academic databases and search engines. Combine subject terms, synonyms, phrase searches, Boolean operators, and date or field filters into a query you can paste into your chosen platform. You leave with a search string, alternate terms to test, and a plan for checking whether the results fit your question.
