I would like to research the impact of renewable energy on the environment. To effectively find information on this topic, I would use search terms such as "renewable energy", "environmental impact", "sustainable energy" and "green energy". As I start to get results, I would refine my search by adding more specific keywords, such as "wind power", "solar energy", "carbon emissions" and "climate change". Additionally, I would use filters such as date range and academic sources to ensure the most recent and trustworthy information.

In 3–5 sentences, describe the process of conducting a research project.

Conducting a research project begins with identifying a topic of interest and developing a research question. Next, the researcher conducts a literature review to identify existing knowledge and research gaps related to that question. The researcher then develops a research design or methodology that outlines the approach to collecting and analyzing data. Data is then collected using various methods such as surveys, interviews or experiments, and is analyzed using statistical and/or qualitative analysis techniques. Finally, the researcher draws conclusions and evaluates the implications and applications of the findings, including any limitations of the study and suggestions for future research.

In 3–5 sentences, define what a search term is and explain how to use search terms most effectively.
Answered by

A search term is a word or phrase used to find information related to a specific topic in a search engine or database. To use search terms effectively, it's important to identify the most relevant and specific words related to the topic being researched. One should use a combination of broader and narrower search terms, including synonyms, acronyms, and related terms to increase the likelihood of finding relevant information. Using quotation marks around a phrase will ensure that the search engine looks for that exact phrase, while using modifiers and operators such as "AND", "OR", and "NOT" can help to narrow or expand the search results.
