Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a search engine focused specifically on the discovery of scholarly literature (including Emory materials) as opposed to the broader google.com web search engine. Google Scholar provides search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.

Note: Google Scholar is externally maintained and controlled by Google; inclusion in Google Scholar's indexing is not controlled by Emory.
