The greater number of key words that you use in you your search specifically in the journal article title and/or abstract, the more relevant the articles become and the fewer in search results! IF there are too few, then start decreasing the number of key words. You can also reduce the number of articles by narrowing the year of publication to the more recent articles.

Dr Abdul Awal
