Anchoring our science with keywords Int. J. Older People Nurs. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Sarah H. Kagan
Keywords. Not a topic that excites many readers, I imagine. But I would like to convince you that keywords are critical to advancing science and are thus quite exciting. Think of the roles that keywords play in science. Keywords place a research report in the context of a larger body of literature. Keywords tie one research report to others addressing the same and closely related topics. Evidence syntheses
