GOOGLE SCHOLAR, EXPLAINED

“Why should I?” TO CUT RESEARCH FRUSTRATION, SAVE TIME & REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CLICKS.

Google Scholar is a free search engine that is often thought of as the academic version of Google.

Rather than searching all of the indexed information on the web, it searches the repositories of publishers, universities and other scholarly websites (a smaller subset of the pool that Google searches).

The search results tend to be reliable scholarly sources. However, Google is typically less careful about what it includes in search results than more curated, subscription-based, academic databases like Scopus and Web of Science. As a result, it is important to take some time to assess the credibility of the resources linked through Google Scholar.
