3 categories:
1. Which words and phrases? need distinctive terms
2. Which databases and search engines?
3. What other methods? I especially like following citations and "Cited by," and authors who I know are interested in my topic.
Two example searches (Fall 2023):
1. heat recreation outdoors
2. ("destination weddings" OR "wedding tourism") (venues OR locations OR places OR spaces)
1a. proximity or distance to parks or public green spaces (urban/suburban). What outcomes?
1b. recreation for rural communities
2. social effects on participation in recreation and leisure activities, "social networks," "social support," "social isolation"

What are peer reviewed articles? How to find them and exclude non-peer-reviewed stuff? How to tell if what you find really is peer-reviewed?

Other concerns: citing correctly, managing what you find. See AppState Writing Center help.
