Activity break: Identify search terms

In preparation for your search for articles, take the time now to examine your research question and break it down into search terms. Remember to think of all possible synonyms, related terms, spellings, etc. Are there additional terms that you would like to include in your search (e.g. author, journal title)? Record all of the search terms on a piece of paper to use later.
