LibGuides: Commerce: Google Scholar

Abstract

1. Open the Google Scholar Web page at http://scholar.google.com/ 2. From the book or article that you are interested in, enter the author’s name and a significant word or two from the title into the search box (no punctuation should be necessary), and then hit the search button. 3. On the search results page find the specific book or article that you are researching. (Note: Google Scholar indexes a wide variety of works from numerous academic fields, but it is not comprehensive, so your book or article may not appear. However if it does not, make sure to check your search terms for accuracy.) 4. At the bottom of the listing for the book or article there will be a link that says “cited by n,” where n is the number of works indexed by Google Scholar that cite the book or article that you are researching. (The ‘cited by’ link is not included for books or articles without any citation totals). Clicking on this link will produce a list of works that cite the book or article that you are researching.
