Controversial Topics Research

What makes a topic controversial? What should I know about a topic? How can I learn the issue so that I can know where I stand? This guide sets you on a path to answer these questions.

Using ProQuest

Separate your main concepts (search terms) into different search boxes. See below. Remember that keywords Anywhere will return results that have the word anywhere in the text.  Use the dropdown menu on the right to narrow your search to the citation and abstract fields by selecting Anywhere except fulltext.

If you are getting too many results, or if the results are not on target, contact a librarian for assistance in-person, via Chat, Zoom, or email.
