  • My second essay tips video. Conducting a comprehensive literature review is an important part of any research project. Here are my tips for how to use Google Scholar effectively to quickly and easily find the academic papers, journal articles or books you need to write that essay or complete that dissertation.
    This is the second in a series of videos I'm hoping to produce while undertaking my PhD at the University of Exeter on tips for students at university or college whether undergraduate, postgraduate or otherwise.

    You have given very good search techniques for article-search in google scholar.
    1. Boolean: AND, OR...
    2. Article "Cited by" (Zitiert von), to find the next/successive research
    3. "Search Article with citation" ("In Artikeln mit Zitaten suchen").

    Another useful feature of Google Scholar is that it allows you to see different versions of the same article. I've used this feature when the first link that Google Scholar gives you does not allow you to read/download the article immediately. In this case, it might be worth it to check the alternative links before going to the university database to see if other websites are less restrictive, and they often are

    Just the video I need for my on line Masters program's 2nd week. Because I'm not use to doing paperless research, this will help me come up to speed with acquiring articles quickly so that I'm not wasting a lot of study time. I'm so glad to hear about "Google Scholar". The 1st article I searched for in my school's database was on available to professional association members, so that was a drag. I'm hoping this video will lead to quickly accessing university articles too. Thanks for posting!

    You can link Google Scholar to your university library to see quickly which papers you have access to in full text - through Settings and then Library Links. Google Scholar is great but can lead to a dead end if the paper you want is behind a paywall.

    Sometimes the boolean operators don't make sense in google scholar. For example, if I search "A", I may get 100 results. If I use a boolean operator, "OR", to search "A" OR "B", theoretically, I should get more results. But most of the time, I get fewer results instead. I don't know why.

    • @Tom_Nicholas
      @Tom_Nicholas  6 років тому

      Yeah, it can be a little tricksy sometimes, it's certainly not perfect. I'd guess its something to do with how Google Scholar interfaces with the databases themselves perhaps?
