How Does Google Scholar Work?

How Does Google Scholar Work?

Google Scholar is a search engine for scholarly literature at major academic publishers & university presses that lets you find articles/citations on the topic of your choice.

It ranks documents based on the number of times an article has been viewed, printed, or downloaded within a set period of time (usually around 1 yr). Its aim is to rank documents the way researchers would: based on relevance & popularity.

Documents are added to its library when publishers submit them to the GS Metadata Program. From there, documents are indexed, ranked, & made available to searchers in search results.

  • Explore the Most Popular Articles & Publications: Browse the top 100 publications, ordered by 5-yr h-index & h-median metrics. Click the h-index number to see the article & citation metrics. The h-index is a number that represents the highest number of papers in the publication that have been cited at least that many times. The h-median metric is the median of the citation counts in its h-core. Articles in the top 50% of citations count towards this metric.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
