Behind information retrieval there is always some need for information. A person who is seeking scientific information may be interested in, for example, the results, methods, findings, or references of earlier publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The topic of the search is defined by a certain need for information, a research topic, for instance. The search question may, in turn, be some limited part of a research topic. Especially in larger theses, the information retrieval can be easier to manage if you can chop the research question into smaller parts using search questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A search query and its focal concepts are lead from the topic. Search query is the question or a group of questions for which an answer is sought from scientific publications and literature. Defining the concepts is important for both the information retrieval and research processes, as well as the writing itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\t
