To find recent trends and issues in your topic area, it's a good idea to start out reading some review articles. These are secondary sources that discuss a number of other articles. Review articles do not report on research recently conducted by the author.
To search for review articles, include the word "review" in your search terms, e.g., [review arsenic pollution water].
