Search history and combining results
Before you start searching, think about keywords for your given subject. You may find it useful to do some preliminary reading in textbooks and encyclopaedias. This will help you identify keywords and key authors.
A good search strategy is to search for keywords separately, plus any of the relevant subject headings recommended by CINAHL, and then combine the results to narrow down your topic.
As you search for different terms, a search history will build above your search results. You can combine searches by ticking the left-hand boxes in the appropriate lines and then clicking the search with AND or search with OR buttons.
