Had spent a few days searching for journal articles that are relevant to my dissertation, a total of 405 articles were found!  I was being very meticulous, trying my best not to let the slightest relevant article slip away.  When I was doing my M.Env.Sci. thesis, papers were passed down to me to study, and I wasn’t at all thankful to my supervisor for the time saved in searching the vast and boundless literature pool!

Would have to skim through the abstracts of the 405 articles later to see how many of those are actually useful for my dissertation…
