Finding Articles for Your Literature Review: The 5 Biggest Mistakes 🔎 📚

You can’t figure out an effective process for finding articles for your literature review?
I hear this a lot.
The most common question I get from students is this: The topic I’m writing about is so new, there’s just no literature on it. What should I do?
In this Video, we’ll get to the bottom of this. To do this, we’ll discuss the 5 biggest mistakes in searching literature for your research.
If you stick with it until the end, I even have an example for you on how you can craft an amazing literature review section, even if at first glance there seems to be no literature about the topic.

The first mistake students make when trying to figure out how to search for literature effectively is using too narrowly defined search terms.
The results of a literature search can only be as good as the filtering mechanisms you use.
Let’s use a simple example. For this, we need a topic that is so new that there is little or no literature to be found on it.
The example is: Universal Wallets
Universal Wallets are storage places for digital valuables. Maybe you have your own digital wallet to store cryptocurrencies or NFTs in.
If a refined database search yields no relevant articles for your literature review, then you need to delve into some other tricks.
With a forward and backward search, you can find the sources upon which the few hits you did find are based, or sources that have cited them afterwards.
