Benefits of Google Scholar:
- „Cited by” search results
- Quick link to full text when you search for an article title
- Links directly to Google Books
- Ranks relevance differently than the library databases
- Searches the full text for your keywords
- Sometimes finds free full text for items not in the library
- Comprehensive searching of scholarly literature beyond WSPiA Library for capstone literature review research.
Drawbacks of Google Scholar:
- No Peer-Review
- No Full-Text
- Difficult to do more complex searches.
Relying on only Google Scholar may result in you missing important research, and spend a lot of time verifying if an article is peer reviewed. But, it is still a good tool for searching!
