Concept Mapping a Research Topic








Concept mapping was developed in the 1970s and first used in the sciences. Concept mapping is a visual approach to developing one's thinking on a topic. This tutorial applies concept mapping to library research. Mapping a topic as the initial step in the research process will help to articulate questions, gather vocabulary, and uncover related facets of a topic. Use these questions, terminology and related terms when searching RISD Library's online subscription databases and the web.
