Why use concept mapping?
Concept maps or tables help you to brainstorm ideas, focus your topic, and identify possible keywords (aka search terms) before using the library's databases to search for articles for your literature review.
Finding search terms
To find relevant words, you can use a dictionary or encyclopedia (Wikipedia is very useful for this). You can also do a quick search for journal articles and have a look at the results list.
Concept tables
Organize the words you have for the concepts in your research topic in lists and then in categories per key concept in a concept table.
Cmap tools
Cmap software is a result of research conducted at the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC).
