It is important to have a strategy when you begin your search for information. Start with the general and close in later on the specific. This will help you to understand what you are reading.
- Read about your topic in books, electronic books, specialized encyclopedias and reliable web sites to get background information. (Find resources for this under the Background Reading tabs on this page).
- Search the scientific literature using a databse such as PubMed. Look for Review Articles. These will summarize the research for you and help you get in-depth background.
