thousands of online magazines, journals, newspapers & similar publications.

Next, think of other ways to express these topic keywords, including:
o Synonymso Related wordso Other forms of your keywords, such as
alternate spellings, plural vs. singular, etc.
![Page 25: How Do I Find Articles?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5552c9fdb4c905920f8b4f2d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Too many articles? You need to narrow your search to give it a more specific focus.
![Page 29: How Do I Find Articles?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5552c9fdb4c905920f8b4f2d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Using the more specific term “teenage boys”, instead of “teenagers”, narrows our search.
![Page 31: How Do I Find Articles?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5552c9fdb4c905920f8b4f2d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
