Google Scholar describes itself as a "simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature" and can be found at: https://scholar.google.com/
While Google does not provide a list of titles that it indexes, estimates for coverage include 90% of published online scholarly material in English. Examples of documents include:
- articles, theses, books, preprints, patents, abstracts and court opinions from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.
Google Scholar's algorithm for relevance ranking is secret, but takes into account publication, author, and citations.
