Include synonyms and alternate spellings of your original term (word). Use OR between each term (word), and enclose each concept (idea), in brackets.

Where appropriate, truncate terms using the * symbol. This will ensure you receive both the singular and plural forms of your term. Note: Check the “Help” or “Search Tips” section of the database to see what truncation symbols it uses.
