Google Scholar (GS)

Very few websites provide access to scholarly research. The launch of Google Scholar
(GS) marked the beginning of a revolution in the scientific information market. This search
engine, unlike traditional databases, automatically indexes information from the academic
web. Its ease of use, together with its wide coverage and fast indexing speed, have made it the
first tool most scientists currently turn to when they need to carry out a literature search.
Additionally, the fact that its search results were accompanied from the beginning by citation
counts, as well as the later development of secondary products which leverage this citation
data (such as GS Metrics and Citations), made many scientists wonder about its potential as a
source of data for bibliometric analyses.

The GS provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you
can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court
opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities,
and other web sites. GS helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
