WHY USE IT?• It’s big (coverage & time)• It’s interdisciplinary• It’s free (to you…)• It’s only a click away• It does some “tricks” that
nothing else can do

Which one is better…?
•Google Scholar’s simplicity may actually be a boon• Some institutions cannot afford
Web of Science•Google Scholar offers some
non-periodical sources
•Google-Scholar is much more clumsy to use, if you’re going to collect (download & analyze) citation data•Google-Scholar is valuable for
international and different formats
•Don’t trust Google Scholar to sort properly, detect duplicates, etc.
•Google scholar looks at non-scholarly sources, and this can be useful, or a distraction
•Accuracy of Google Scholar is lower…•Web of Science is criticized for
being American-based, English-language
•Google Scholar is better at finding citing sources in non-English literature from Africa, Asia and Central and South America.
•All three tools yielded unique material•There’s no simple solution
