Article Keywords and Subject Terms

Analyzing the keywords and subject terms assigned to your article can be instrumental in discovering similar or related sources. It’s advisable to document these designated terms and utilize them for subsequent searches within the Library’s databases.

For instance, referring to the article above, we can pinpoint the most pertinent subject terms and proceed to perform an Advanced NavigatorSearch for those terms, as illustrated below. Although the search may yield a limited number of results, they are likely to closely align with the content of your original article.

Certain databases, such as ProQuest, provide a list of subject (or indexing) terms, allowing you to construct new searches directly from the record page using these subject terms linked to your original article. This functionality enables you to craft exceptionally precise searches, resulting in the retrieval of highly relevant results closely related to the original article.

For more guidance on conducting a Subject search, please consult the Subject Terms and Database Thesauri page.
