How To Make Gogle Like Scholar

effort by Google to point you to either a summary or, occasionally, the full text of "scholarly" articles and books. Although the name of this service is Google Scholar, it also includes articles from less academic publications that are directed at professionals, such as Dental Assisting, Library Trends, and even The New York Times. While the search page and the search results look similar to the regular Google search engine, you're searching a different index of material. And the search results are strikingly different from Google's web search engine.


Many of the search result items link to article citations and abstracts provided by the publisher or an aggregator. You can purchase a copy of the full text of the article directly from the publisher or aggregator—most prices range from $10 to $30 per article. A relatively small number of citations include links to a free, full-text copy of the article. The search results page also provides information on the number of citations to each article within the Google Scholar database (which isn't the same as all citations to the article, of course). This is sometimes a useful way of gauging an articles impact within that discipline.

Some results are labeled "citation", and are just that: All that Google knows about the item is the title, author's name, publication title and date. There is no link to an abstract, nor a direct way to purchase a copy of the article, report or book
