Document searches
Document your searches continuously
Documenting your searches throughout saves you extra work later and makes it easier to keep track of your searches. The documentation can be in the form of a table or in continuous text and should include the following:
- Name of database
- Date of search
- Search terms you have used
You can then use this documentation in the search schedule you will include in the report.
