How to use Google Scholar for academic article search?

Google Scholar

  • Google's tool for searching academic information returns a good amount of articles.
  • There are less search tools available than in the actual article databases.
  • To be able to open the full text of articles found using Google Scholar, you have to do things that are explained on this page.

Iscte Google Scholar use

if you want to use Iscte databases with Google Scholar, you have to fix the remote access to Iscte databases first. When that is done, the articles found using Google Scholar are fully readable and open up straight ahead.

Remote access in Iscte requires

  1. Authentication with Iscte ID and password and
  2. VPN connection.
