To perform effective searches on ProQuest, follow these tips:
Use Keywords: Start with specific keywords related to your topic. For example, use "neonatal care" instead of just "nursing." Advanced Search: Utilize the advanced search options to narrow down your results by publication date, document type, and subject area. Boolean Operators: Use Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT to combine or exclude keywords. For example, "pediatric nursing AND asthma" will yield more specific results. Filters: Apply filters such as peer-reviewed, full-text, and publication date to refine your search results.
