Case Study Research

Google Scholar - Use the terms like "case study," "case studies," or "case method." Keep the terms in quotes to force the results to only return that phrase. Combine with terms like "health," "epidemiology," "nutrition," "sport studies," "nursing," etc. See our handout on Using Google Scholar Effectively.
