Developing Keywords

Keywords are terms that represent the main concepts of your research topic. 

These terms are what you will use to search for sources (articles, books, etc.) to support or answer your research question. Keywords can be single terms or a phrase.

To develop keywords:

  • Identify the main concepts related to your research or research question.
  • Brainstorm related or alternate terms and synonyms for those concepts.
