Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0350 short lesson, about 20 seconds
OR Broadens
Captions available
The idea
OR joins alternatives and broadens a search, returning records containing either term or both.
In practice
A term and its synonym joined so that studies using either are returned.
Where people slip
OR is what handles the synonym problem keywords create. Without it a search finds only the vocabulary you happened to think of.
