Google Scholar indexes research articles and abstracts from most major academic publishers and repositories worldwide, including both free and subscription sources.

Google Scholar Citations provide a simple way for authors to keep track of citations to their articles. You can check who is citing your publications and graph citations over time.  You can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for your name, e.g., Dimitar Christozov

Google Scholar library is your personal collection of articles. You can save articles right off the search page, organize them by topic, and use the power of Scholar search to quickly find just the one you want - at any time and from anywhere. You decide what goes into your library, and we’ll keep the links up to date.

Search Tips

  • How do I search by author?

        Use the "author:" operator, e.g., author:"Emilia Zankina".

  • How do I search by title?
  • How do I sort by date?

You'll often get better results if you search only recent articles, but still sort them by relevance, not by date. E.g., click "Since 2013" in the left sidebar of the search results page.

To see the absolutely newest articles first, click "Sort by date" in the sidebar. If you use this feature a lot, you may also find it useful to setup email alerts to have new results automatically sent to you.

Note: On smaller screens that don't show the sidebar, these options are available in the dropdown menu labeled "Any time" right below the search button.

  • What does the "Related articles" link do?

       It finds documents similar to the given search result.

  • Where is advanced search?

       Click on the arrow to the right of the search box. It'll bring up the advanced search window that lets you search in the author,

       title,   and publication fields, as well as limit your search results by date.
