Google Scholar

Use google scholar to search for resources that aren't likely to be in OneSearch.

  • journal and conference papers
  • academic books
  • pre-prints and post-prints
  • abstracts
  • theses and dissertations
  • technical reports from governments and other organisations
  • court opinions and patents
  • references to printed books and journal articles

One of the most useful features of Google Scholar is citation tracking. Using quotation marks, enter the title of a publication into the search box. A "cited by" number will appear at the bottom. 

Who is citing what I am reading? Forward citation tracking: finding works that cite an original work.

What sources did the researcher cite? Backward citation tracking: finding the works cited by an original work.
