## Too many search results: what to do?

What can you do:

- Is your topic/research question too broad? See if you can narrow it down. Consider the W’s: who, what, where, when, why.
- For topics studied across multiple disciplines, add an extra search term to indicate which research discipline you are interested in. For example: “public administration” or “sociology”.
- Limit your search to the last 5 or 10 years.
- Adjust the sort order to relevance (if the database you are using allows it).
