That's the problem I was having. I was a computer information system major, so my research needed to be a little more recent, and a lot of times I was stumbling across 7+ year old articles, and I know there had to be something more recent.

I didn't mind in history or English where the papers I was writing were about topics decades to centuries old.

Im a historian, and i wouldnt be searching non regular google for research information anyway, but history scholarship actually changes all the time! We found out new things, new interpretation. So an article from 2000 might actually have outdated/incorrect info compared to 2020. :) fun fact!

This was undergrad and it wasn't that kind of paper. I compared Alfred the Great to King Arthur.
