Helpful suggestions for graduate students.

 

How to Choose the Best Keywords for Your Research Paper (or Journal Article)

1. What does the Journal suggest to provide regarding keywords and number of keywords?

2. Choose terms, words, and/or phrases related to your topic. If someone else were searching for papers on your topic, would they find your paper in their search?

3. Key phrases should contain two to four words.

4. Avoid terms already present in your title.

5. Don't be too broad or too general. 

6. Make sure your keywords contain your method or technique (if your work primarily revolves around it). 

7. Include alternate words to your keywords or phrases.

8. Test your keywords before submitting. What other papers do these keywords or phrases find? Are they similar to your paper?
