==Finding answers== If you have a specific question and want to understand the evidence associated with that question, you might find [https://scholar.google.com Google Scholar] or [https://www.semanticscholar.org Semantic Scholar] helpful resources -- whereas a general search may yield a range of opinions, these search engines focus almost exclusively on academic research. Looking at academic articles will give you a sense of what people find when they take a more rigorous approach. Some generic search tips: * Try out advanced search features to help narrow your searches. * You can filter by year or look only at recent years. * For key phrases or technical terms, make use of quotation marks. For example, a search like <code>"code of conduct" diversity "open source"</code> might help inform a discussion on whether codes of conduct in open source projects have a role to play in increasing diversity (short answer: a CoC can help, but it's not a guarantee). * Different research fields often use (slightly) different terms to talk about (nearly) the same thing. For example, you might be interested in finding work on codes of conduct in free software communities and projects. However, the search you ran for <code>"code of conduct"</code> only turns up a handful of results. You might look through these results to see if the papers or their references suggest alternative keywords or key phrases and search those as well. In this example, phrases like "online community governance", "online community rules", "online community norms" might help you identify some different sources (which you can then use to repeat the same strategy).
