• Place each unique concept in a separate row. Use AND to connect concepts (for example, education AND gender differences). Both concepts will be present in your results.
• Search separately for journal articles and non-journal literature by limiting your results to journal articles (EJ) or documents (ED).
• Limit your results to peer reviewed for abstracts from scholarly publications.
