Tips for effective searching -

If you find one relevant article for your reseach it can lead to other relevant papers by the following:

• using the databases, including OMNI, look to find all papers & books published by the author or co-authors
• explore the bibliography in the paper for sources
• using Web of Science or Scopus, look for articles that cite the article you found.    Remember, some databases will also list citing articles but those lists are limited to the current database.  The Web of Science and Scopus are more comprehensive, with coverage from multiple databases.
