How to Google effectively
I know that this may be a random repost you’ve read somewhere, but you may refresh your mind with these complete list of steps you must take in order to google efficaciously:
- Fill in the search box with all the keywords you know, for example: keywords related to journal:
>.pdf // journal is usually stored in the PDF format
> abstract // every journal usually has an abstract
> // the topic related to the journal, e.g. ergonomics, hand tools, etc.
- The keyword that forms a phrase is quoted within apostrophes so that Google searches them as a phrase, for example:
> “chlonorchis sinensis”
> “james martin”
- If there are several words that you wish could be found in the search, begin each words with a plus (+) sign stuck to the word, for example:
> +model +biomechanics +Chaffin
> +design +”User Interface”
- If there are several words that you DON’T wish to be found in the search, begin such words with a minus (-) sign stuck to the word, for example:
> TORA –Oracle
> .pdf -Subscribe
- If you’re still confused in searching with the above steps, just use Advanced Search!
