Google Scholar Strengths
Google Scholar can lead to hundreds of relevant "scholarly" articles in seconds. It has a search interface similar to Google so it is clean and simple to use. Google Scholar includes a list of references under each source. Next to each paper list is "cited by" link.
Where does Google Scholar get its information
We index research articles and abstracts from most major academic publishers and repositories worldwide, including both free and subscription sources. To check current coverage of a specific source in Google Scholar, search for a sample of their article titles in quotes.
Why use Google Scholar over Google
While Google searches the entire Web, Google Scholar limits its searches to only academic journal articles produced by commercial publishers or scholarly societies. Google Scholar eliminates material from corporations, non-scholarly organizations, and from individuals.
