Brief commentary on your search strategy
The information is full of content and it is important to have effective search strategy. The
secondary sources should be reliable. Therefore, I selected Google Scholar and my focus was
to get peer review journals. The required topic is about, ‘Impact of Human Resources
Management on Staff Turnover’. Therefore, I used the same search phrase to get my results.
In case the search results are not relevant with the keywords then the researcher should
change his or her keywords. However, in this case, I got multiple results from the search. The
next task was to identify the relevant results. It is also important to use the latest article.
Therefore, I put the filter of year. Next, I started to browse the results from top to bottom and
selected the three best articles.
