This week in I R

This week's CDS, we were exposed to the usage of different search engines, mainly Google and Google Scholar and to compare the both. Google is used by many of the internet users to search for anything and everything from education, research, news, entertainment, etc.

I also learn about the different keywords and Boolean operators I could use in order to narrow down my search results. Boolean operators are such as AND, OR and AND NOT. Some search engines uses the "+" and "-" signs.
Keywords especially help a lot in narrowing down my searches. Using suitable boolean operators, I managed to select and choose the best search query for my research topic.

This is the search query that I had come up with:
(impact OR effect*) AND (child* OR kid*) AND (violence OR aggression) AND mass N/2 media
