Educational literature retrieval is an important research work, which requires us to operate according to certain steps. This paper will introduce three steps of educational literature retrieval to help readers complete this work better.

Clear retrieval subject

Before starting the educational literature retrieval, we should first make clear our own retrieval theme. This includes determining research fields, keywords and specific research questions. Through this step, we can make full preparations for the follow-up search work.

Search related literature

After you are ready to search for the topic, the next step is to search for relevant literature. At this stage, you need to use search engines, databases, academic websites and other tools to find and filter out documents closely related to your research problems.

Sorting and classifying documents

The last step is the processing stage. The main task of this stage is to sort out and classify the searched documents. Through screening, sorting and induction, the literature can be classified according to the theme and keywords, which is convenient for subsequent reading and research.
