How to Search Keywords in Google Scholar for

your Research

Dr. Nancy Agnes, Head, Technical Operations, Pubrica, sales@pubrica.com

In brief

Google Scholar makes it easy to do a complete search

for scholarly literature. You will browse papers,

theses, books, abstracts, and court decisions from

scholarly publishers, professional associations,

internet libraries, universities, and other web pages,

all from one location. Google Scholar will help you

locate important studies from all over the field of

academic publishing (1)

.

I. INTRODUCTION

The guide is proposed to assist you in doing data

analysis that is not exclusive to conventional legal

materials. Periodicals (magazines, journals, etc.) are a

diverse source of scholarly and non-scholarly articles

on a wide range of topics and particular subject areas

and disciplines. This guide aims to help researchers find

periodical materials online from the hundreds of e-

resources available in all Library system.

Since there are so many diverse ways to do online

periodicals study, the recommendations in this guide

are by no means comprehensive. They are, however,

designed to assist you in conducting your analysis and

locating related materials as quickly and effectively as

possible. Please keep in attention that not all papers are

accessible through the internet. And if they have an

electronic subscription to a newspaper or magazine, the

article you want can be beyond the limits of the

subscription's coverage. Just the abstract will be

available in electronic form in most ways. If your

article's full text isn't accessible online, you may be able

to get a print copy from one of the campus libraries (2)

.

II. SEARCH TIPS FOR GOOGLE SCHOLAR

You can use much of the same search tools in

Google Scholar as you can in Google.

Google Scholar inserts AND between terms

automatically:nurse retention of stress

Use quotation marks on sentences or names, such

as "social learning philosophy" and "On the Origin

of Species."

Use the OR operator to find different terms,

enclosing the terms in parentheses:(either "first" or

"second" grade)(theory OR model)

To build your search string, you can also use the

advanced Google Scholar search. It can be not easy

to build a complex Google Scholar search.

Trying several Google Scholar searches and

changing the keywords for each Search is a

successful Google Scholar approach (3)

III. LEARN MORE ABOUT GOOGLE SCHOLARS

ADVANCED SEARCH

To find research articles and books that quote a

particular post, click the Cited by source.

The cited function is a perfect way to search more

recent posts and follow a concept from its initiation

to the present day.

Begin by searching Google Scholar for a single

object. At the lowest of the page, look for the Cited

by connecting. It will show how many times the

object has been referenced by others.

To see a list of the objects that cite your original

item, click the Cited by link. The number of Cited

by results would be higher for older and more

influential products.

You will restrict the number of findings that are

quoted. Check the box for Search within citing

articles at the top of the Search and follow the

prompts to limit the date range, or check the box

for Search within citing articles at the top of the

examine and follow the prompts to search for

keywords within the results..

There are eight different ways to search in the

Advanced Scholar Search menu, divided into three

parts. It would help if you combined these various

search tools as you see fit.

All / Exact Phrase / At Least One / Without Allows

you to choose the search terms to use.

All of the words entered into the first search bar

must appear in your result. It is how a Google

Scholar search works in general.

As you enter words into the second search bar, they

will be searched as an exact expression. Not only

must all of those words appear in each result, but

they must appear in the similar order in which you

wrote them.

You can also do this by inserting the words in

quotes in the standard search bar. "Myocardial

infarction," for example.

If you type words into the third search bar, Google

Scholar can return any results that contain at least one

of them. It is a useful way to use synonyms or similar

concepts in the Search (4)

You can also do this by adding "OR" between the

search terms in the standard search bar. For

instance, consider Missouri politics or government.

If you type words into the fourth search bar, Google

Scholar will show you links that don't have certain

words. If your results are cluttered with items that aren't

important to your Search, this may be helpful.

You can also do this by entering a minus sign (-)

before a word in the standard search bar.

Shakespeare's disasters, for one.

Controls that Google Scholar can scan for the

search terms and Where My Words Occur.

Choosing "anywhere in the post" would certainly

yield more options so that the search engine will

check for the keywords in more locations. It is

Google Scholar's default setting.

Choosing "in the title of the article" can increase

the validity of the findings because if your

keyword appears in the title, it is more likely to be

relevant to the article's content.

IV. AUTHORED BY/PUBLISHED IN/ DATED

BETWEEN

The first search bar allows you to look at results written

by a certain author.

You can also do this by typing "author:"

before the author's name in the standard search

bar. Author: Crenshaw, for example, is an

expert on intersectionality.

The second search bar allows you to look at articles in a

certain academic article. Google Scholar recognizes

many different ways of abbreviating journal titles.

You will use the last search method to look at results

from several research publishing dates.

You should change this on the results tab as

well (5)

.

V. CONCLUSION

Google Scholar is a little-known good source. It's an

extremely valuable tool for university research

programmers. However, its utility extends beyond that.

It's an excellent resource for researching a wide range

of subjects. Best of all, you will use the method to

simplify many areas of research writing and analysis

greatly. Despite these advantages, Google does not

access to the Scholar tool from its web page. Instead,

you must manually check for it by entering

https://scholar.google.com into your browser's address

bar (6)

. The tips in this article will greatly enhance your

ability to use Google Scholar effectively.
