How
to Find Better Articles
Adding More Concepts
Sometimes you get too many articles and would prefer to find fewer
ARTICLES that fit your specific topic more
closely. For instance, suppose you wanted to write about how safe it is for teens to
work. Remember that we found 55 articles when we searched for teen* and job* By adding the
word safe* (to find articles that use the words safe or safest or safety),
we reduce the number of articles found to 5.
There are now only 5 articles, but all of them should be about the safety
of teens on the job.
So adding another concept reduces the number
of articles found but makes the articles fit your topic better.
