Google Scholar is a search engine that searches scholarly literature on the internet. Instead of searching across the Internet for websites and webpages like Google does, Google Scholar searches specifically for books or articles. Google Scholar searches a wide array of publications across many disciplines and subjects. Most of the results you will find in Google Scholar are scholarly articles.
The search box works in much the same way that the regular Google search works. Your search keywords can be similar to what you would search in Google.
Ofrece una forma sencilla de buscar literatura académica. Puedes buscar entre una amplia gama de disciplinas y fuentes académicas.
