关键字是包含主题思想的单词或短语。所有的图书馆搜索都使用关键字而不是句子。
例如:
如果您正在研究使用社交媒体进行市场品牌推广的有效性，您的关键字将是社交媒体和品牌。
通过使用这些关键字，您找到的所有资源都会在文章的某处提及社交媒体和品牌。
Keywords are words or phrases that encapsulate the ideas of your topic. All library searches use keywords instead of sentences.
For example: If you were researching the effectiveness of using social media for market branding, your keywords would be SOCIAL MEDIA and BRANDING.
By using these keywords, all of the resources you found would mention social media and branding somewhere in the article.
搜索的一个必要步骤是查找关键字的同义词和相关术语。同义词是一个与另一个词相同或几乎相同的词。同时，相关术语将帮助您查找与您的主题相关的文章，但会从不同的角度查找文章。
作者可能使用各种术语来描述同一件事。例如，作者可能使用单词car进行讨论，另一个作者可能使用短语motor vehicle，而其他的作者可能使用单词automobile。然而，他们都在谈论同一件事。此外，在讨论劳动力多样性时，作者可能会谈论社会经济地位，种族，族，性别或教育背景。但是，计算机只会搜索您输入的术语。
在开始搜索之前，请尝试考虑一些同义词和相关术语。
An essential step in searching is finding synonyms and related terms for your keywords. A synonym is a word with the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. At the same time, a related term will help you find articles related to your topic, but from a different perspective.
Authors may use a variety of terms to describe the same thing. For instance, one may refer to a car, another to a motor vehicle, and yet another to an automobile. Yet they are all talking about the same thing. Additionally, when discussing diversity in the workforce, authors might talk about socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, gender, or educational background. However, Computers will only search for the term you enter.
Before you start searching, try thinking of some synonyms and related terms.
这里有些例子 / Here are some examples：
| 您的关键字 / Your Keyword | 同义词 / Synonym(s) | 相关术语 / Related Terms |
|---|---|---|
| work | job, career | employment, labor |
| woman | girl, female, women | Feminism, "gender identity" |
| diversity | variety, difference | ethnicity, race, "socioeconomic background" |
| "social media" | Facebook, Twitter, WeChat | "online community", "personal data" |

当您搜索多组关键字时，请使用布尔运算符。大多数专业研究人员使用布尔运算符。
布尔运算符更改关键字在搜索中彼此交互的方式。您最常使用的两个布尔运算符是单词 AND 和 OR。
在搜索中使用 AND 查找包含所有术语的文章。这允许您缩小结果范围。
在搜索中使用 OR 连接两个或多个类似的概念（同义词），并扩大您的搜索结果。
When you are searching for multiple sets of keywords, use Boolean Operators. Most professional researchers use Boolean operators.
Boolean operators change how your keywords interact with each other in a search. The two Boolean operators you will use most often are the words AND and OR.
Use AND in a search to find articles that include all of your terms. This allows you to narrow your results.
Use OR in a search to connect two or more similar concepts (synonyms), and broaden your results.
限制器的作用就像百度学者搜索中页面左侧的过滤器。当您有成千上万的搜索结果时，选择各种限制程序可以筛选出更易于管理的内容。一些过滤器包括发布日期、主题、资源类型和许多其他条件。
在FHSU 最常见的限制器是全文和同行评审
同行评审将您的搜索范围限制在专家撰写并发表在同行评审期刊上的学术文章。当您的教授告诉您查找“学者文章”时，他们通常希望您查找经过同行评审的文章。
Limiters act like the filters on the left side of the page in a Baidu Scholar search. When you have thousands of search results, selecting various limiters allows you to filter your returns to something more manageable. Some filters include publication date, subject, resource type, and many other criteria.
The most common limiters at FHSU are Full-Text and Peer-Review.
Full-text will limit your returns to articles that the library can immediately access.
Peer-review will limit your returns to scholarly articles written by experts and published in peer-review journals. When your professor tells you to find a "scholarly article," they usually want you to find an article that is Peer-Reviewed.
A scholarly article is an article written by a scholar or professional in the field with advanced degrees. Often, these articles report research results and are published in peer-review journals. They are generally reliable sources of information. In appearance, they tend to look serious, contain professional jargon, and include graphs and charts.
学术文章是指具有该领域高级学位的学者或专业人士撰写的文章。 通常，这些文章报告研究结果，并发表在同行评审期刊上。它们通常是可靠的信息来源，从外观上看，它们趋于严肃，包含专业术语，并包含图形和图表。
