Google Scholar Search
Google Scholar is a quick, familiar and free way to find scholarly literature, but it behaves differently from databases like CINAHL or Medline.
Peer-reviewed articles, theses, books, conference papers, and other scholarly materials from universities and research publishers. Because its coverage is broad and automated, users should always verify that sources are credible, peer-reviewed, and relevant to their discipline.
