When conducting scientific research, appropriate methods must be used to find information that is reliable and valid. Angela was assigned a research project about human body systems for her anatomy course. She would like to focus on the immune system, and more specifically, the effects of HIV on the immune system. Which of the following options would be the best way for her to conduct an online search about her topic?
Answer
A
Type in “human body systems” + HIV
B
Type in “immune system” + human
C
Type in “HIV immune system”
D
Type in “human immune system” + HIV effects
Explanation
The search should include the specific topic, the immune system, and what Angela wants to investigate: the effects of HIV. “Human immune system” + “HIV effects” combines those terms and is likely to find more focused results than a broad search such as “human body systems” + HIV. The best choice is “Type in ‘human immune system’ + HIV effects.”
