Notes:
- The symbol used for truncation varies from database to database. The above example uses " * " (asterisk). Therefore, creativ* will search for creative, creativity, creativeness, etc.
- Using "thinking" as a keyword will retrieve records containing "creative thinking" as well as those with "thinking skills".
- You may refine your search further by specifying the science topic (e.g. magnetism), the geographic area (e.g. singapore) and the year of publication.
