4. Topic: Cross-reference techniques This allows you to identify sources & re-search others views using “relevant literature”. Use article title = informative subject content (identify keywords!) Read the abstract to determine the paper main arguments; focal point - subject context; methodology; main findings & conclusion. Use the listed “key-words” & citation to expand your search / subject coverage. Use the article introduction (cited authors) to read others main arguments & retrieve more relevant literature. Analyse both articles reference list to enrich your subject focus. 4 4/25/2022 Searching relevant literature via UNAM Library resources_Writing for publication retreat_Leisure centre, UNAM
