Here is a Quick Answer on choosing a topic: How do I choose a topic?

Once you have a topic picked out, you can begin developing keywords.  Keywords are words or phrases that express a topic’s most important concepts; they are also effective search terms.  Choosing the right keywords for a topic takes some practice and patience.NURS 5050 Week 4 Assignment Paper

To identify the keywords, first start by identifying the main concepts in your topic. Typically these will be nouns. Since the goal is to identify main concepts you will ignore any other words in the topic. Some types of words that will be ignored are:

  • little words such as who, the, and, withetc
  • words that are time related, such as often, frequently, always, etc
