Searching databases for scientific work/ articles I've tried reading several guides on how to search in databases to get the relevant information that I'm seeking, either is my topic hard to find articles on or I guess it doesn't exist many.
Anyway I thought I'd give it a shot here to see if you guys could help me get relevant search-results for what I'm searching for.

Basically I have the idea of doing a bachelor degree work on the topic "How is data backups being handled at municipalities?" where I want to get in contact with IT-responsible people working at municipality offices around the region where I live to answer the research question.

The work requires me to find scientific work/ articles that relates to this subject to explore what has been done before me in the area which I wish to study.

How would I go on about finding scientific work/ articles about the subject that I wish to study.

Basically how do I search databases in the most efficient way to find earlier articles relating to my subject?

Any help and advice is appreciated.
Searching for articles on a topic is a skill that you get better at over time. Here are some tips to get started:


Ask your colleagues in your field which databases they use most commonly.  For instance, PubMed targets journals in the biosciences and medical fields.  PsychInfo indexes psychology journals, etc.
Google Scholar is a very capable tool, though the scope is typically broader than a more focused search engine.
Using a few articles you already have as starting points, review the reference list and pick out additional articles cited in the work that are of interest, then go read those, then repeat the process.  After time, you'll start to have an intuition on the authors, journals, and keywords that help you construct a search.
Use a 'cited by' search - first find a particular article you already have on your topic, then find the articles that cite that article. This can open up further routes for exploration.
