Google Scholar provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature broadly. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources.
Advantages |
Limitations |
Multidisciplinary, search "everything" at once Links to institutions full-text (once initial setup is complete) Great to view how many times a paper is cited |
No controlled vocabulary Less search options available to help you refine results: Can end up with too many results
