Some databases recommend relevant articles regarding your topics and some of them would provide other articles written by the same authors of the papers that you are reading. I think these databases are helpful too.

I would also like to share mine. I would use databases that provide access to full-text copies of my articles as much as possible.

Yes and I also locate an article that is close to my topic and then look at the terms used to describe it, and use these terms in my search.

You may use guides to terms to locate your articles, e.g. a thesaurus, when available.

The correlation test result I’m reading about indicates that the p-value is less than 0.001. Does that imply a relationship?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
