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!
@@Tom_Nicholas I want to ask, why does most journal articles are not free? Its really difficult for me to access the articles as sometimes it requires subscription, which of course I wouldn't do it.
Please keep the music out of these videos, they’re extremely helpful but I find the music to be very grating. I’d much rather just listen to your voice! Other than that, keep up the good work
Haha, thanks Luker. I made this video some time ago and have definitely learned a lot about when/how/of to use music since! Apologies for the gratingness!!
just loving how our college teachers told us to read research papers and make a whole review paper but never taught us shit about how to actually do it :) :) :) they really just said uggghh finee here take these book references now go take notes or smthg shooo shoo
No worries at all! It's a process that's always super inefficient. The amount of scrolling compared to the amount of found articles/papers/books is always pretty low even when you've worked out the perfect keywords to search! Best of luck with your studies!
Good video - like the search tips, how to use it to find further information and as someone who is deaf, I really, really appreciate the clear captions. Don’t forget your university library will offer free access to many articles that are paywalled on Google Scholar for literature searching too.
Glad you found it useful Catherine! I've fallen a little behind with captioning lately but I do usually really like to ensure they're there so that everyone can access the videos. Thanks for reminding me to put some time aside soon to do some of my more recent videos! And yes, I don't think I mentioned too clearly that University libraries will have access, when i make a follow-up video I'll be sure to mentions this!
Very helpful video! Thank you. I did not know some of these Google Scholar features that you mentioned in the video such as cited by. Can't wait to put them to use on my future literature searches :)
Go to the web site akademikarama.com. Write a few keywords related to your research topic. First, click the "Tamam" button. (OK) Next, the "Ara" button will appear. (Search) Click on "Ara" button. (Search) A "full text search" is made among millions of academic articles indexed by Google. The listed articles definitely contain the keywords you have written. You can search and find anything in the language you want. All articles on Academia, Scholar, Jstor, Researchgate, Dergipark (TR), Sciencedirect, Sripringer websites.
Excellent video mate!! really appreciate it. working on my research proposal and your tips will be handy while conducting literature search. Thank you. :)
Hello Tom, Do you have any idea the easiest way to sort out the primary data from secondary, also in a peer-reviewed article? struggling to find primary articles, thanks for your video, it helps, esp thanks about the use of Mendeley, it saved me.
I am not gay or anything like that but I like watching this video, your face smilling and explaining in a very cool accent is very cool lol... You should work in movies!!!
I've actually got a video coming out on this exact topic on Wednesday. I use a programme called Scrivener for writing my thesis which I'd certainly suggest checking out!
Great video! In regard to your last point, that Google Scholar may not be as good for actually finding the article, what then can we use? I am a very beginner at this topic, so thank you for your help. Cheers
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.
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?
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.
