In today’s information landscape, finding information can feel, superficially, extremely easy. Billions of research articles are published electronically. Multiple tools are available to search for them. But finding high-quality information can be surprisingly hard. Being adept at finding quality, relevant, scientific literature is therefore a fundamentally important skill in nutritional science. Scientific literature is a main vehicle for researchers to disseminate, to share with the global community of nutritionists and nutrition students, their research findings. https://youtu.be/BOn17K2FO4Y Whether a student, a practitioner, or researcher, people in the field need to know how to find good, relevant, literature. Ideally, this literature will shape learning, inform current practice, and be the foundation upon which new research is built.
