In this tutorial, we will discuss the benefits of Google Scholar, how to utilize its service, and how it differs from regular google.

***Update (November 13, 2018): While the functionality of Google scholar has not changed, there have been some changes made to the website’s interface since the publishing of this video. To locate the profile and settings page, simply click on the three line symbol ( ≡ ) in the top left corner of the website.
