1. Do a broad search within ProQuest, and find out one kind of biotechnology you want to search

For instance, "stem cell" research, "cloning", "genomics", "biotech foods" ...

2. Search strategies and techniques

• Use "*" to truncate your keywords and get more results of your keywords;
• Use "AND" to connect your keywords in order to narrow down your search and get what you are looking for;
• Use quotation marks if you are searching a phrase;
• Search within "Abstract", which will help you find what you are looking for;
• Always pay attention to "suggested topics" or "subjects", which might give you good search queries;

3. Choose your interested articles (3 authoritative sources), use "find it @USC" to get full-text, and create a reference list in the required format (e.g. APA, MLA)
