This flyer outlines 4 core reasons why students and researchers should be using FSTA:

1. Don't waste time trawling through pages of irrelevant results and poor-quality sources

2. Your references need to be credible

3. Your searches need to be thorough

4. Discover research you might otherwise miss, because of synonyms and spelling variants

 

Promotional email template

You may find it beneficial to email relevant faculty and researchers at your institution to highlight the strengths and features of FSTA.

We have put together an example email to outline the benefits and allow you to share how to access FSTA. Please feel free to use this, or to adapt it to your needs.
