Too Broad / Too Specific

Is the information too broad or too specific?

  • Broad means general information about the topic.

  • Specific means the information is clearly identified and detailed.

You can never be sure of what you may find. You may find too much information and need to narrow your focus, or too little and need to broaden your focus. This is a normal part of the research process.

If you're doing a web search, change your search words to help adjust the focus of your research.

No matter what you're researching, it is important to look at multiple sources to get all of the information, perspectives, and sides of the story.

There's tons of information online.

But if it's not related to what you're looking for, it's useless to you.

A source is relevant if it's connected to the topic you're researching.

Looking For Relevance

To determine if a source is relevant, ask yourself:

  • Is it useful to me?

  • Is it the right type of source?

  • Is the information too broad or too specific?

Usefulness

Flaticon Icon

When deciding if the information you found is useful for your topic, consider:

  • Does the information help you answer the questions you have about the topic? Prove the point you want to make? Support the argument you're presenting?

  • Does the information add to what you already know, or make you question what you know?

  • Does the source add new information, or confirm information that can be found elsewhere?

آیا می دانید؟

A primary source is a first hand account of an experience or event — like a diary or report. Secondary sources analyze or interpret primary sources, like a textbook or biography.

Type Of Source

The right type of source will depend on your needs:

  • Do you need a book or a scholarly journal article?

  • Do you need primary or secondary sources of information?
