Introduction

Scholar

Scholar

Scholar lets you include articles (including patents) and casernlaw in the results. When you run a search, you’ll notice the results are a bitrndifferent from the standard Google return. First, there’s a complete lack ofrnadvertisements. That alone should prove its worth. Second, the results tend tornbe heavy on books and PDFs (though websites do appear). If a result links to arnwebsite, almost without fail that site is a university or other researchrninstitution. Scholar also allows you to track citations, create a library (forrnuse with citations), and view metrics of publications included in Scholar.
